Two summers ago I stayed in Mexico on an American-Mexican student exchange. Throughout the whole adventure Christian Science was of great help to me. Many different suggestions of evil were floating around: harmful effects from changes of diet, diarrhea, drinking parties, homesickness. I conquered them all with Christian Science. But one particular healing seems very significant.

I woke up one morning with a terrific stomachache that I thought would never stop. When I could get no physical relief, I realized that Christian Science would be the only way to solve this problem. I took out my books, the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and slowly and thoughtfully studied the Lesson-Sermon. The pain was so severe that I had to read lying down. The lesson subject for that week was "Mind," one of the synonyms for God. The first section led me to see that since I was a reflection of God I could express only the one perfect Mind. I continued to study, but I didn't seem to feel any better. I was doing something wrong.

I persisted in my work, when the great thought came to mind that I was trying to heal the body instead of human thought. The human mind needed to be corrected, for in reality, as God's reflection, I was already perfect.
