Thy following demonstrations are in line with the thought suggested by your statement in Science and Health, page 473, fifty eighth edition: "If the Science of Life were understood, it would be found that the senses of Mind are never lost, and that matter has no sensation. Then the human limb would be replaced as readily as the lobster's claw,—not with an artificial limb, but with the genuine one."
One afternoon a gentleman called to see me, who seemed to be suffering from a belief of a chronic disease, from which he had tried to be relieved for many years by the use of material methods, all of which had failed. It was "man's extremity, and God's opportunity." As a last resort he came to Christian Science. I was very busy, and told him I had only a few moments, so many were waiting. He related his story of sorrow and pain,—though I did not hear it, and knew nothing of what he had said.
To my understanding "Man is the infinite idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind." Science and Health, 570. I said, "I will see you in the morning." Morning came; still I was just as busy, and he went away without seeing me.
