In the first years of marriage I found myself many miles from family and friends, in an environment unfriendly to my study of Christian Science.

At this time I noticed an alarming breaking-out of weeping sores all over my body. My husband did the only thing he knew to do: he took me to a hospital and called in his physician. This gentle man made a diagnosis, corroborated by two of his colleagues, that I would have some form of this difficulty for the rest of my life. He opened a medical book to show me some very frightening pictures of persons who had this particular disease.

I closed the book and handed it back to him. Part of a statement from Science and Health came to me: "Thus far and no farther." The entire statement is "Adhesion, cohesion, and attraction are properties of Mind. They belong to divine Principle, and support the equipoise of that thought-force, which launched the earth in its orbit and said to the proud wave, 'Thus far and no farther'" (p. 124).
