From the May 1959 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is thirty-one years since I began to study Christian Science. Now I feel impelled to express my gratitude to God for a healing for which I had to wait patiently for eight years.

One Sunday on returning home from a long walk, I felt pain in my ankle. On investigating I noticed a wound, but I did not consider it to be serious. I resolved that if it seemed necessary later, I would see a practitioner.

Since the condition did not improve I went to see the practitioner the next day, but the healing did not take place as quickly as I expected. On the contrary, very earnest and consecrated work was needed, for the error had become aggravated. Very soon it was clear to me that I must correct my own thinking, that I must work prayerfully.
