For many years I had been hoping to see an impressive proof of the efficacy of Christian teaching and preaching, but it was not until I met a Christian Scientist, who proved for me the healing power of divine Principle, that I knew that the Christ was operating for the benefit of mankind at all times, now as in the time of Jesus.
This first healing was a great joy to me because I was lifted out of the misery of a heavy cold with its accompanying difficulties, including a sore throat, and was enabled to perform successfully as soloist at a concert the following evening. Since that time I have been healed through Christian Science of various physical complaints, including neuritis, severe headaches, and a lump on the back of my hand.
I am very grateful for all these manifestations of the power of Truth to overcome the ills of the flesh, but I am more grateful for the freedom from nervous apprehension and an inferiority complex, which characterized my earlier experience. To know that God, good, is All, and that discord of any kind is no part of His creation, has given to me a clearer sense of the spiritual origin of all existence. Freedom of thought and action has been the result of my earnest study of Christian Science, and I rejoice in following our beloved Leader along the path from material sense to spiritual understanding, which reveals the true selfhood and individuality of the child of God.
