My parents took up the study of Christian Science when I was about ten years old, and I was permanently healed of a physical condition which was expected to prove fatal within a few years. In the more than forty intervening years since that time, every discord which has presented itself to me has been harmoniously overcome when I have properly applied the laws of God as revealed to us in Christian Science, and in consequence a peace of mind which is priceless has been maintained.
On page 234 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures'" Mary Baker Eddy tells us, "You must control evil thoughts in the first instance, or they will control yon in the second." Several years ago I had a clear proof of the truth of this statement. While visiting friends the mountains, I was accidentally shot through the leg, and a small bone was shattered. As soon as a Christian Science practitioner was reached by telephone, the pain eased, and I had practically none after that until one morning several weeks later, when I began to entertain thoughts of discouragement, self-condemnation. and self-pity because the complete healing was not being manifested so quickly as I expected. By afternoon I was feeling thoroughly miserable mentally, and the leg was paining me severely. I called the practitioner and explained the situation, with the result that almost immediately discouragement was replaced with gratitude and the pain completely disappeared. However, the complete healing was not consummated until I had gained a higher sense of the unity of God and man.
