Some years ago there was implanted in my consciousness a fear of goiter, and as this fear was never destroyed, a few years later this disease manifested itself. When this trouble became evident, my fear became so intense that I seemed to be paralyzed with it. This produced excessive overaction of the heart.
I was interested in Christian Science at the time but had never made practical use of it. A practitioner was called, and work began which enabled me to continue with my work in an office. This also created a desire for class instruction and I was accepted in a class in 1919. While I received help from both practitioner and class instruction, I was not healed. About a year later, when the fear became so intense that I was afraid I might pass on, the words from the twenty-third Psalm, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death. I will fear no evil: for thou art with me," came so forcibly and with such conviction to me that I saw clearly that even though I passed through the experience called death, my real life could not be touched. From that time the fear was destroyed and gradually the goiter disappeared.
I am exceedingly grateful for the good received through the study of Christian Science and I thank God for His unceasing care and provision for His children.— Sheboygan, Wisconsin.
