Several years ago my husband and I were living away from home temporarily because of his work. As I was not employed at the time, I decided to devote myself to the study and application of Christian Science. In addition to studying the Bible Lesson outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, I used the Concordance to Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy to look up passages containing the synonyms for God listed on page 587 of Science and Health. I was trying to enlarge my understanding of God.

While I was involved in this prayerful study, a small growth on the back of one leg became an open wound that spread over the calf of the leg. This caused me great pain, and it became difficult to walk. When this condition was not healed by my own efforts in prayer, I asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me—to help me see myself as a perfect child of a perfect God.
