My gratitude to God knows no bounds. Having been reared in Christian Science, I have not had any experience with another religion. Many times healings and demonstrations have been more or less taken for granted; however, a recent experience which brought about a regeneration of thought has aroused in me a deeper sense of gratitude to God, to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, and to Mrs. Eddy.
At work one day I was taken suddenly ill with influenza. As I was the only one there, it was not possible for me to ieave. I tried to realize that because man is the reflection of God, he can experience only good. However, the condition grew steadily worse, and late in the afternoon I telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner and asked for help. Within a few hours the fever broke, but still there was much discomfort. I made some improvement and was able to return to work in a few days.
After about a week the condition again became severe and took the form of what I believed would probably have been called pneumonia. Again the help of a practitioner was sought and lovingly given.
