On hearing recently of a healing through Christian Science of a child born with a deformity, I was reminded of a similar healing that took place in my experience over twenty years ago, one for which I am extremely grateful.

Immediately after the birth of our daughter I felt that all was not well with her. After two days had passed, I was informed that the baby's feet were turned inward and that it would be necessary for her to have them put into splints and later into plaster casts to force them straight.

My first thought on hearing this was to remember a passage from Miscellaneous Writings by Mary Baker Eddy, which speaks of the spiritual idea, and goes on to ask the question (p. 167): "Is he deformed?" The answer follows: "He is wholly symmetrical; the one altogether lovely."
