"I HEALED HIM ON THE SPOT"

MAX J. SIMON

An earnest student of Christian Science who had spent many hours studying and pondering the healings that were performed by our Master, Christ Jesus, and by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, was much impressed with the fact that most of their healings were accomplished in a single treatment.

One such healing performed by our Leader occurred while she was inspecting the work of remodeling Christian Science Hall in Concord, New Hampshire. Mrs. Eddy writes on page 145 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" that the carpenters' foreman said to her: "I want to be let off for a few days. I do not feel able to keep about. I am feeling an old ailment my mother had." Continuing she says: "I healed him on the spot. He remained at work, and the next morning said to Mr. George H. Moore of Concord, 'I am as well as I ever was.'"

One day while meditating on this healing, the student met a friend who previously had become interested in Christian Science. This friend, who was smoking, immediately discarded his cigarette, saying, "I should like very much to be free from the tobacco habit." Instantly the words of Mrs. Eddy, "I healed him on the spot," came clearly to the student's consciousness.
