William C. Watt

When I first began the study of Christian Science, before I became a church member, I was convinced that there was no real pleasure in liquor and tobacco, only harm; so I stopped the use of them, and I also gave up tea and coffee, I was able to correct impatience, irritability, and resentment and to replace them with patience, courtesy, and gratitude to God. I am grateful that soon after this my prayerful work protected me from influenza when I was exposed to an epidemic of it.

A cut on my eye was healed by my denial that there is any intelligence or sensation in matter and my declaration that sight is spiritual and perfect. When I affirmed that man is not subject to matter in any way but is spiritual, a twitching of one eye ceased, and athlete's foot disappeared. When opening an outside door one winter, I hurt an ankle. This was healed by a Christian Science practitioner.

A leg injury was also healed by a practitioner. An injury to one side was healed by my own realization that "there is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter" (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy, p. 468). Declaring that memory and other faculties are spiritual and indestructible, I greatly improved my memory and my ability to sense time and direction and to awake and arise at a desired hour.
