Leslie M. Harden

At one time my teeth became loose, and there were other distressing symptoms. It never occurred to me to think of any treatment but Christian Science. I had a firm conviction that this condition could be healed, because I had been healed of serious difficulties before.

A practitioner helped me, and we did consecrated work together. What came to me very strongly were these words from the Bible (Isa. 59:1): "The Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save," and a question from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p.135), "What cannot God do?"

I am not sure just how long it was before the teeth became firm again, but I think it may have been about a week, How-ever, the other symptoms remained, including an involuntary grinding of my teeth in my sleep. Every morning I awakened in pain, which was always quickly allayed by the firm and understanding use of "the scientific statement of being." in which we find this truth (ibid., p. 468): "Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal."
