Alberta A. Baker

For several years my arms broke out periodically in unsightly blisters. When the trouble became severe I would have help by prayer from a Christian Science practitioner. At other times I worked to overcome the condition myself. One morning I awoke with a severe rash of blisters. I asked for help from a practitioner, and I prayed earnestly to be shown what needed healing in my thought. The word "nettled" came to me, and I looked the word up in the dictionary. I found that it could mean irritated or vexed.

I realized that I had allowed myself to be vexed and much irritated. I told the practitioner of this and endeavored to demonstrate the real man's freedom from vexation. The trouble soon cleared up.

Several weeks later when a dear one spoke disparagingly of Christian Science, my hands again broke out in blisters. But I could see then that the condition was mental. The thought came to me, "This is ridiculous," and was followed by Mrs. Eddy's words in the textbook, Science and Health (p. 471), "God is infinite, therefore ever present, and there is no other power nor presence." The blisters disappeared at once and have not returned.
