My heart overflows with gratitude to God for blessing us with this Christ-way of living which we find revealed in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy. Through the study and application of Christian Science I have found more abundant health and the supply and happiness that accompany a grander and more loving sense of life.
My first healing in Christian Science was of leukemia. After a kindly physician had reluctantly informed me that there was nothing more he could do for me, a friend recommended that I try Christian Science. I accepted this recommendation and sought the aid of a practitioner. I shall never cease to be grateful for that happy time when, after a visit to her, I returned home with the solid conviction that Mind was the only medicine I required. I willingly cast away the material remedies, some of which I had just bought.
This was over seven years ago, and since the dawn of this great fact I have found no need for other remedies, but have experienced better health than I had ever known. A stomach disorder, a vexation since childhood, was healed, and also a kidney infection, which had foiled the doctors, was forced to give place to the higher law of Love. I have experienced many other healings, such as those of colds, coughs, sore throats, and influenza, one or more of which had harassed me every winter and sometimes in the summer as well. The statement, "Every law of matter or the body, supposed to govern man, is rendered null and void by the law of Life, God" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, pp. 380, 381), helped me immeasurably in seeing that the breaking of certain physical laws could not result in disease, that they were man-made, and could in fact be reduced to the status of mere superstitions.
