ON a beautiful fall day two students of Christian Science were walking on a deserted beach, their bare feet washed by the incoming tide. They had gone several miles enjoying the sparkling weather and engrossed in sharing their experiences, when suddenly one of them, the writer, gave a cry and stopped. A sharp object sticking out of the sand had practically torn the nail off one of her big toes. The pain was severe, and she was unable to bear her weight on the foot.
She said in distress: "What shall we do? I can't walk back to the car like this or even drive it."
Her friend replied, "You can walk one step, can't you?"
