A wart appeared on the sole of my foot

A wart appeared on the sole of my foot. Because it hurt me very much when I walked, I went to a physician, who said that I should have X-ray treatment for the foot.

In the Christian Science Sunday School I had learned that we can remove any inharmonious condition with right thoughts. Therefore I did not submit to the treatment but talked about this case with my Sunday School teacher. She explained the truth to me and said I should read the passage in the Christian Science textbook that says: "The truths of immortal Mind sustain man, and they annihilate the fables of mortal mind, whose flimsy and gaudy pretensions, like silly moths, singe their own wings and fall into dust" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 103).

She said that we have to know the truth that makes us free, as Christ Jesus taught (John 8:32): "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." I was beginning to see the truth of my immortal nature as God's child. The effect of these good thoughts could soon be seen. Two mornings later the wart came away from my foot without any effort. This quick healing made me very pleased and happy. From that time on I had no further trouble from that condition.
