One day at noon when I just arrived home from a Sunday School meeting, and as I was relaxing on a chair, suddenly I felt an intense pain. I dared not even inhale deeply, because of how I felt at that moment, but I did not tell anybody about my condition.

Carefully I rose from my chair and very slowly proceeded to my room. There I prayed the Lord's Prayer and pondered "the scientific statement of being." The opening words of the statement are (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 468): "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." I know mortal mind wanted to persuade me to see this illusion as real, but I held fast to the truth and did not let error enter my thought. I know there is only one Mind that governs and that Mind is God; there is no other mind to harm me or control me, and I am always protected and taken care of by that one Mind. Only good is unfolding and going on—continuous, harmonious, and uninterruptible good.

In Science and Health I read (p. 393): "Be firm in your understanding that the divine Mind governs, and that in Science man reflects God's government. Have no fear that matter can ache, swell, and be inflamed as the result of a law of any kind, when it is self-evident that matter can have no pain nor inflammation."
