I wish to express my gratitude for a healing in Christian Science which marks one of the milestones in my spiritual progress. It occurred some years after I had an attack, and without warning I began losing consciousness.
When I repeated statements of truth, the condition was met for the moment, but my fear of repetition of the attack persisted; so I retired to my bedroom, and a Christian Science practitioner in another city was called. For some days I struggled with the belief that I was separated from God. I felt I had to go someplace, I knew not where, but some place beyond this material realm, to find God. Fear was prevalent. I talked by telephone many times a day with the practitioner who stood by faithfully, always available, always positive in her thinking. However, I had admitted into my thinking the suggestion that I was going to die to find God; and as much as I did not want to die, I felt there just was not anything anybody could do about it.
The climax came one Sunday night two weeks after the initial attack. My husband and daughter had been reading the weekly Christian Science Quarterly Lesson-Sermon aloud to me when again I began to lose consciousness. Again the practitioner was called, and because of my condition it was necessary that our daughter hold the receiver to my ear. I was told to remember just three words: "God is All." This I did to the best of my ability. I then asked the practitioner if she believed what she was telling me—that God never fails, that Christian Science is the truth. She immediately declared in the affirmative and quoted from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy part of the definition of "Elias," which reads (p. 585), "Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold."
