At one point I suffered frequent severe headaches. I awakened early some mornings feeling I couldn't go to work. I reasoned that because I was really God's child and held in His care, I was under no mortal mind pressure or cause. I studied the paragraph on page 207 of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which begins, "There is but one primal cause. Therefore there can be no effect from any other cause, and there can be no reality in aught which does not proceed from this great and only cause."

I pondered this daily, and I had the inspiration that my only occupation was to serve God and mankind. The attacks became less frequent. I held to these truths and didn't miss a day of work, for which I am most grateful. The headaches stopped, and my healing was complete.

Recently I had what appeared to be an infected varicose vein. When I saw the symptoms, I immediately declared, "There is no poison in Mind, and I reflect the one Mind, God; therefore perfection prevails." I called a Christian Science practitioner, who calmed my fears and gave me treatment. In a short while the leg cleared up completely and has been fine since.
