It has been proved to me that Christian Science is practical and is always available to meet daily needs. I am grateful that I had the privilege of attending the Christian Science Sunday School from the time I was a child of eight until I reached the age of twenty.

There came a time when I had to use the understanding of what I had learned in the Christian Science Sunday School. Large warts appeared on one of my hands. The condition caused much embarrassment. I prayed as we are taught to do in Christian Science and asked to have revealed to me the error in my thinking that could produce such an ugly manifestation.

Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 248), "We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives." In searching my thought, I found stubbornness, selfwill, resentment, and even hatred. I prayed to have these unlovely traits destroyed and to accept in their place such qualities as love, humility, patience, and forgiveness. Soon the warts began to diminish, and finally they disappeared completely.
