Shortly after beginning the study of Christian Science, I had all the symptoms of kidney trouble. The pain and discomfort were severe. I was living in a rented room in a city far from home. Although I was tempted to take medicine, I studied the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and tried to apply the truths I read to myself. Days passed without relief. Finally, I bought some medicine with the thought that if the condition did not improve, I would take it.

Late that night, alone in my room, I awoke in great pain. On a table beside the bed lay the pills and a copy of Science and Health. I reached for the pills, but just as I touched them, I said aloud: "No. Christian Science is the Word of God, and I will rely on it."

I tossed the pills into the farthest corner of the room and picked up the textbook. Through tears, I would read a sentence, then repeat it aloud. One line stood out. It reads (p. 469), "We bury the sense of infinitude, when we admit that, although God is infinite, evil has a place in this infinity, for evil can have no place, where all space is filled with God."
