With immeasurable gratitude to God, who led me into Christian Science, I offer this testimony as proof of its efficacy. Of great importance to me is the spiritual regeneration that took place some years ago when, slowly, but surely, I was healed of ingratitude and an unloving critical disposition—which led to another healing.
For several years, there was a lump on my gum. I prayed to see God’s allness and the unreality of the condition, but the lump remained, hard as a stone. I must confess that my initial prayer was spasmodic, particularly because the lump was not in the least bit painful. However, years later when I started to feel pain, I realized it was time to pray earnestly and persistently.
I prayed to know what I needed to understand and to correct in thought to find healing. I studied many passages from the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy. During that time one word came to thought: hardness. I immediately declared that there could be no hardness in me, being the expression of divine Mind, who is also Love.
