Testimony of Healing May 4, 1992 Issue

While in college I suffered with warts and corns on my feet

Celeste O. Jenkins

While in college I suffered with warts and corns on my feet. I often changed my shoes during the day and limited my participation in activities and dance class because of the discomfort.

As one brought up in Christian Science, I had witnessed and experienced numerous proofs of God's healing power. However, having studied and prayed for some time without seeing any change in the condition, I began to doubt my understanding of God, the healing Principle of this Science, and even considered material alternatives.

In thinking this over, I remembered a friend who had once had a wart surgically removed only to have it reappear later. Turning to Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy for fresh guidance, I read this: "We think that we are healed when a disease disappears, though it is liable to reappear; but we are never thoroughly healed until the liability to be ill is removed. So-called mortal mind or the mind of mortals being the remote, predisposing, and the exciting cause of all suffering, the cause of disease must be obliterated through Christ in divine Science, or the so-called physical sense will get the victory."
