LOOKING BACK ON THE IMPACT of my first healing in Christian Science—an instantaneous and permanent release from migraine headaches—I'm struck by how this Science helped prepare me to put down fear and trust God completely even in the midst of uncertainties. I saw that right where doubts and difficulties appear, then and there God's love strengthens us. The teachings of Christian Science were enabling me to take hold of a sense of spiritual reality—the infinite harmony of God's creation—as the only truth, calling into question any discordant evidence to the contrary.
Elias. Prophecy; spiritual evidence opposed to material sense; Christian Science, with which can be discerned the spiritual fact of whatever the material senses behold; the basis of immortality.
"Elias truly shall first come and restore all things." (Matthew xvii. 11.)
