"The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God,—a spiritual understanding of Him, an unselfed love" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p.1). From the moment I read this sentence, while still in my teens, I believed it and have never doubted this truth during the more than forty years I have studied Christian Science.

An outstanding demonstration of the efficacy of the healing power of Christian Science was the dissolving of what would probably have been diagnosed as an abdominal tumor which had grown so large as to be discernible through my clothing. For a long time I was unable to sleep on one side, and I suffered extreme pain most of the time. As I realized that such a condition was not of God, who is good and ever present, some of the unloving and fearful medical beliefs, as well as others which I was holding in consciousness, dissolved.

Through earnest and consistent study of the Bible Lesson, given in the Christian Science Quarterly, early in the morning before the other members of my family were awake, I grew to see the perfection of God's creation, wholly spiritual. I do not know exactly when the healing occurred, but one morning I found that I had been sleeping on the side where the growth had been and that it was entirely gone. That was over ten years ago.
