As I lay ill with fever one day, worrying about my health and about many other problems, I was seized with deep despair. I felt that life was so hard to live, not only for me, but for thousands of people who were much worse off than I was.
In this despair I thought, "If God is almighty, then all evil must be a mistake, unreal." Strengthened by this thought, I got up, dressed, and went to work, free from the fever. An hour or two later I heard that a friend had spoken to my wife about Christian Science, and we borrowed a copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy. In this book I found the truth of God's allness confirmed and explained.
I was soon healed of boils and insomnia. Heart trouble, for which I had regularly taken medicine for two years and which was considered hereditary, vanished when I realized that creation is not material but spiritual.
