Quickly Healed

        A friend of ours who lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts mentioned in a letter recently a healing of his daughter, which could well be of benefit to some of you:

        "My daughter called me as she was on her way home from work one evening.  She complained of severe stomach pains, but this belief was met and eliminated in about 15 minutes by reminding her of her exemption from such suggestions. In my prayerful work, it was clear to me that she had always been one with God, and that we didn't need to work towards perfection, but that she already was so."

        I called him to thank him for his letter and he further elaborated that the basis of his Christian Science treatment were these two statements by Mary Baker Eddy:

        "Jesus of Nazareth taught and demonstrated man's oneness with the Father, and for this we owe him endless homage." Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, page 18

And from Miscellaneous Writings, page 173:

        "If Mind, God, is all-power and all-presence, man is not met by another power and presence, that--obstructing his intelligence--pains, fetters, and befools him.  The perfection of man is intact; whence, then, is something besides Him that is not the counterpart but the counterfeit of man's creator?  Surely not from God, for He made man in His own likeness."
