TWO QUICK AND PERMANENT HEALINGS

JOANNE FORSYTH

My gratitude is boundless for having been a lifelong student of Christian Science. The teachings in Science and Health, which explain God's nature, as well as insights into how Jesus accomplished his healing work, have blessed my life immeasurably.

About a year and a half ago, I began to notice it was becoming difficult to sing hymns in church. My speaking voice seemed normal, but soon a lump appeared in my throat, which became noticeable and painful on the surface of my neck.

Shortly before this, I had been devoting myself to a study of seven synonymous names for God, found on page 587 of Science and Health—Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Life, Truth. and Love. A definition of the term good appears on that same page, and I reasoned that each synonym must be acknowledged as incorporating the power of God's goodness in all expressions of human activity—in business affairs, on university campuses, in households, and, above all, in our prayerful work to claim our perfection as the image of the perfect God (see ibid., p. 259).
