When I consider how Christian Science permeates my life, contributing joy, wisdom, right activity, depth, stability, and scope, in proportion as I study and practice it, I hasten at last to contribute my testimony in print. I have been blessed with a sense of adventure in my daily life. I am especially grateful for opportunities to advance in my study and understanding of Christian Science through serving as First Reader and in other church work. I am grateful for Christian Science parents and Sunday School, for Reading Rooms, for the Christian Science Hymnal, and for the timely periodicals, which supplement the inspiring Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly. And I am grateful for alert and steadfast public practitioners of Christian Science.
Some of the healings that have come to me have been those of colds, headache, a sense of drag in the area of the heart, a dislocated hip, grief, and injuries that were the effects of accident. As I walked away from the scene of a car smash-up, these words from the Christian Science Hymnal sang in my heart (No. 153):
In Thee, my God and Saviour,
Forevermore the same.
