ABNORMAL GROWTH
HEALED
For some ten or twelve years I
had on the back of my neck a large lump, which my physician
said was a cyst or small tumor, not dangerous, and removable
by the knife or electric needle. As it gave me no pain I had
nothing done for it, and rarely gave it a thought unless
some one happened to question me concerning it. One day,
after I had been in Christian Science for some time, a
person whom I had not seen for about seven years, met me,
and in the course of our conversation commented upon the
fact of my still possessing this disfiguring mark. This set
me to thinking, and I determined to get rid of it if
possible, realizing that if Truth is sharper than a
two-edged sword, its operation could remove this so-called
cyst more effectually than any surgeon's knife or needle. At
the same time I mentally probed my consciousness for the
error which this material manifestation typified. After
about two days of this kind of work, I found that the lump
was swelling, and it had become so inflamed and sensitive to
the touch that I was obliged to lay off my collar and wear a
soft handkerchief around my neck. The following night it
broke and discharged its contents, leaving an angry-looking
sore, but in a few days it had entirely healed, leaving no
trace save a pinkish hue where the new skin had formed.
This seems only a small
demonstration, but it is significant in that it points to
what may be done along the lines of mental surgery when our
understanding of the Principle revealed in Christian Science
becomes sufficiently advanced.
