Mary Baker Eddy writes on page 393 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures": "Be firm in your understanding that the divine Mind governs, and that in Science man reflects God's government. Have no fear that matter can ache, swell, and be inflamed as the result of a law of any kind, when it is selfevident that matter can have no pain nor inflammation." This positive statement has been very helpful to me in overcoming a physical difficulty. I wish to express sincere gratitude for the healing.

About nine years ago, while on active duty in the United States Navy, I was ordered to a naval hospital for clinical observation. The medical diagnosis was tuberculosis. I was in the naval hospital for a period of four months during which time numerous medical tests and X-ray pictures were made. At the end of this four-month period I was considered physically unfit for active service and was placed on the Navy's temporary disability retired list and released from the hospital.

Immediately thereafter I asked for Christian Science treatment and relied on it alone. In examining my thought I found that there was much fear to be overcome. In addition to that, there was resentment toward the Navy that I had been harboring for some time over an incident that had occurred a few months prior to my being hospitalized. To this I had added resentment for having been forced out of the service against what was my human wish concerning the situation.
