Quick recovery from stings
When I was taking Primary class instruction in Christian Science some years ago, I was in a coastal town, and one sunny afternoon I decided to continue my reading assignment for class the next day on the beach. Later, I took a short break from reading and went for a swim in the ocean. As I switched from crawl to backstroke, I felt something like a slimy plastic bag slide under my back. I thought it was just waste, but my back began to feel painful. So I decided to swim to shore. By the time my feet touched bottom, I could hardly move because of the pain.
I was able to continue the reading assignment, part of which was from page 478 in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. The question posed on that page is, “Does brain think, and do nerves feel, and is there intelligence in matter?”
