When we observe and acknowledge...

Theodore C. Shott

When we observe and acknowledge fear and lack, which are not qualities of God, we put ourselves through many trying physical and mental conditions. I remember reading in one of the Christian Science periodicals a statement to the effect that to admit that error exists is to say that Truth is a lie.

A member of our family kept admitting the existence of lack. Just a few weeks before our vacation date, this member remarked about every other day that we could not go on our vacation because we would not have enough money. I became so discouraged that I went to bed one evening feeling as if someone had beaten me all over and not even caring to live any longer. The next morning I could not get out of bed. I was seriously ill for three days. Then a change of practitioners was made, and in one hour the heat and pressure in my head were relieved; but the feeling of not caring to live stayed. Several times I could feel myself slipping away, but the practitioner's constant insistence that Truth is not a lie turned me around, headed me in the right direction, and made me feel worthy of myself again.

I humbly admit that it was the wonderful work of the practitioner which changed my whole course. I myself could not think or do anything for a week and a half.
