Shortly after my parents became interested in Christian Science, I was advised by the school authorities that a spot which was on one of my feet and which had been extremely painful for many months was believed to be cancerous and required medical attention.
However, several days later when I was called into the office of one of my teachers and asked what I was doing about the condition, I felt impelled to tell her that my parents were new students of Christian Science and that I was going to rely upon it for healing. Her attitude toward my decision was very loving, and from that moment on I was completely free from fear.
The next time I examined my foot, the spot was gone! At that time I knew little about Science, had not yet read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and had received no specific Christian Science treatment, yet I was quickly and permanently healed. Later, when I read the first part of this sentence from Science and Health, I understood why I had been healed (p. 449): "A grain of Christian Science does wonders for mortals, so omnipotent is Truth, but more of Christian Science must be gained in order to continue in well doing."
