Before coming into Christian Science, I had gone every few months to a chiropodist to have calluses removed from the balls of my feet. The chiropodist said that they were caused by fallen metatarsal arches, and I wore corrective shoes with metatarsal pads. The relief from having the calluses cut off lasted perhaps two weeks.

After studying Science for a while, I stopped going to the doctor, although my feet were painful, especially when I was going downstairs or crossing a rough street.

The Christian Science practitioner whom I called on for help said, "Let us build up our arch of Principle, and let the seven synonyms for God that Mrs. Eddy gives us stand for that arch." She spoke of the keystone of an arch and said that the keystone of our spiritual arch could be God, divine Principle. She worked metaphysically only a short time. I went about my housework, dwelling on the seven synonyms for God and trying to get a better understanding of man as expressing the qualities of these synonyms.
