"Mind alone possesses all faculties, perception, and comprehension."

Mona Lee Ayres

"Mind alone possesses all faculties, perception, and comprehension." This statement on page 488 of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was a great help to me in my first grade at school. I had trouble reading and was therefore placed in the lowest group of my class. My mother and I knew, however, that I could express only the true qualities of Mind, which I reflected, and therefore I could not be limited in my intelligence and comprehension. Gradually my reading improved until I reached the top group. I had no more trouble reading after that.

A few years ago a somewhat alarming lump developed on my neck. It did not bother me very much, so I ignored it. One day, though, my schoolteacher noticed the lump and told me to report to the school nurse immediately. I was then sent home as the condition was believed to be infectious. Finally I was able to return to school when I had received a statement from a doctor with the affirmation that the condition was not infectious or contagious. However, the doctor was disturbed when my parents and I would not submit to having the lump lanced.

Throughout this time I was having the help of a Christian Science practitioner. While the condition did not seem to improve, I never doubted God's healing power. In fact, during this experience my understanding of Christian Science increased greatly. One night I was continuing to read Science and Health and suddenly noticed that the lump was draining. Within a few weeks I was completely healed.
