"Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" (Psalms). Two years ago I noticed a growth on one of my arms. I had been concerned about a family member whose life was threatened by disease, and I was afraid that this concern was a factor in what I saw as my own difficulty.

Some of the passages we read and studied had to do with the idea of true growth being spiritual; some had to do with God's ever-present perfection.

By Easter Sunday the growth had mostly dried up. As I changed clothes after dinner, I saw it was gone from my arm. Gratitude filled my thought. I remembered one of the passages from Science and Health I'd been studying, "A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive." And so it had proved.
