Christian Science has been important...

Doris C. Williams

Christian Science has been important to me and my family for a number of years, and the children have no remembrance of relying on anything but spiritual means for healing. Therefore one summer when an inharmonious condition was observed on my daughter's feet, we immediately turned to Truth.

When school began, although the condition had not spread further, it was still present. At this point treatment in Christian Science was requested of a faithful practitioner, whose clear perception of the truth of man's relationship to God has blessed us many times. He requested that we hold steadfastly to this statement given to us in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 463): "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." Treatment in Christian Science was given, and my daughter and I continued our own study.

All school students were given a foot examination prior to swimming instruction. The children were told that there was an epidemic of plantar warts at their school and that the condition was considered infectious. When my daughters feet were examined, there was evidence that she had had this condition, and she was asked if she had had it treated by a medical doctor. The evidence indicated that the condition had existed but seemed to be corrected. The child stated that she had had no medical treatment, and she was then told that this would be necessary.
