All of my life, I have relied on Christian Science as my only physician. I recently had an opportunity to prove again that "the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword" (Heb. 4:12). A large, painful lump developed on my body. I became very fearful and called a Christian Science practitioner for treatment.

She was very reassuring in allaying my fear and mentioned the passage in Science and Health where Mrs. Eddy states (p. xi), "The physical healing of Christian Science results now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine Principle, before which sin and disease lose their reality in human consciousness and disappear as naturally and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and sin to reformation." The practitioner recommended that I study references on annihilate, condition, and dissolve. One that was most helpful was (ibid., p. 243): "Truth, Life, and Love are a law of annihilation to everything unlike themselves, because they declare nothing except God."

When negative suggestions and fears came, I had frequent talks with the kind practitioner. In two days there were signs that the lump was dissolving—mental surgery was taking place. As we persisted in prayer, and I realized my perfection and wholeness as God's reflection, or idea, the complete healing was accomplished in ten days. I was most grateful.
