For the peace and harmony which have come into my life through the study and application of the teachings of Christian Science, I should like to express my gratitude to God through the periodicals.
My first experience with Christian Science was about thirty-eight years ago. I had suffered for months from neuritis in the left shoulder and arm, and it was impossible for me to lift my arm to my head. I had tried many methods of healing, such as medicine, osteopathy and electric treatments, but had received only temporary help. I was told that if I continued to use the arm I would probably lose the use of it entirely.
We are told that "man's extremity is God's opportunity," and finally I decided to try Christian Science, although I knew nothing about it except that it taught healing through prayer. I telephoned a practitioner and made an appointment to see her at seven in the evening. I returned home entirely free from the pain in my arm, and have never had a return of the difficulty. Through this experience I learned that Science heals.
