A young student of Christian Science who had worked for a long time to see the nothingness of what appeared to be a large and unsightly wart that covered the end of one of her fingers, began to feel discouraged and even irritated.
One day she was on the point of indulging one of these unhappy moods when, as simply as the sunlight falls, came the clear realization: there is no wart there because a wart has not any cause. She went on with the task at hand, not thinking of the finger again until about the same hour on the following day, when she suddenly remembered that it had given her no further discomfort. Examining her finger, she found it to be absolutely smooth, without even a trace to indicate where the blemish had seemed to be.
This simple healing has served through the years convincingly to illustrate to the student a basic truth of Christianly scientific logic, namely, that evidence invariably coincides with cause. Therefore, since Spirit is the only substance or cause, there is in truth nothing which can be accepted as truthful evidence that does not coincide with, that does not agree with, spiritual cause. This truth is a demonstrable, spiritual law which the testimony of the physical senses cannot abrogate. What we acknowledge and attest as being the outward evidence must coincide with what we understand and acknowledge in divine Science to be the only substance or cause.
