Many years went by without my remembering these happenings, until one day in our city an X-ray checkup was announced which had been arranged according to the law.

I had learned of Christian Science meanwhile, yet error, that is, false thinking, suggested that this condition still hadn't been completely healed. I became very fearful over the thought that the sickness might find confirmation through the X-ray picture. I experienced sharp pains again.
