IN her book Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy writes (p. 400), "By lifting thought above error, or disease, and contending persistently for truth, you destroy error."
These words were proved to be true in the experience of a student of Christian Science when she was striving to overcome migraine, from which she had suffered from time to time. Before leaving home for the city where she was employed in a governmental department, she had earnestly studied, as was her custom each morning, the Lesson-Sermon, outlined in the Quarterly. During the journey to town she had also endeavored to keep her thoughts stayed on God, striving to know the truth of His allness and to see man as His reflection, wholly spiritual, wholly perfect, always at one with God. Nevertheless the error persisted, and it seemed impossible for her to cope with her duties.
The student wondered why the condition did not yield to her consecrated efforts to know the truth that she had been silently affirming. For many years Christian Science had been her only remedy for inharmony of any kind, and it had never before failed to meet her needs when its divine rules were correctly applied.
