After I began the earnest study of Mary Baker Eddy's book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," my uncertain beliefs of God and man began to change, regeneration began, and as a result of purified thought I was healed of a number of physical diseases, such as neuritis, lumbago, ulcers, neuralgia, and pleurisy. Hopelessness and despair gave way as I gained a better understanding of man as the image of Love.
Hemorrhoids disappeared in three days after I made my decision to stick to God at a time when medical suggestions were strong. The truth that awakened me to my need of a stronger faith in God was from Science and Health (p. 368): "When we come to have more faith in the truth of being than we have in error, more faith in Spirit than in matter, more faith in living than in dying, more faith in God than in man, then no material suppositions can prevent us from healing the sick and destroying error."
Fear for my son's safety during his service as a flier in the Second World War was overcome when I saw the universe as spiritual. Grief at my husband's passing was likewise overcome. I have found that only the consciousness of good can fill the void left by sorrow and loss.
