A few years ago I had a growth on my eye. It grew larger, until I felt something had to be done about it. I visited a Christian Science practitioner, and I proceeded to work and pray in Christian Science as we are taught in our textbook. Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. My consciousness daily was completely filled with the omnipotence of God, and my eyes were opened to the importance of studying daily the Bible Lessons, given in the Christian Science Quarterly. Every day required patience and persistence to acquire a demonstrable understanding.
