Growth on jaw healed

Leslie Coughtry

In a By-Law called “Alertness to Duty” in the Church Manual, Mary Baker Eddy directed each member of her Church to “defend himself daily against aggressive mental suggestion” (p. 42). I had a healing last Christmas that illustrated the value of this By-Law.

One morning as I was preparing to go to work, I noticed that there was a swelling on my face close to my jaw. It was uncomfortable, but because I was busy with the demands of my job, I did not address this specifically in my daily prayerful work. Although I denied the presence of anything that could attack my spiritual perfection, over the next few days this area became more obtrusive and painful. I remember feeling irritated at the fact that I was so uncomfortable, and praying that nothing could interfere with my active ministry as a Christian Science nurse.
