"Did you say 'MY cancer?" I asked her with much feeling and emphasis.

"Do you really want cancer, my dear? Are you determined to have it?

If not, then why are you claiming it for your own by saying 'MY cancer'? Remember thoughts are things!"

"Oh, no!" she exclaimed. "I see what you mean. Just listen to me. I must conquer this negative habit of thought."

I assured her yet again that she WAS a Divine Child, that all of her needs were forever supplied THROUGH HER RECOGNITION of them.

I then told her to try to constantly keep in her consciousness thoughts which contained some quality of the following: Belief Confidence Conviction Credit Honesty Patience Reliance Sincerity and other ideas in which there was some of the essence of faith.

I stressed the fact that by keeping these things in mind her thought and feeling would have the essence of faith in them; and that she should soon form the HABIT of thinking in that way.

It was my endeavor to get her to keep her mind off herself and on the things of the spirit. I knew that if I could get her to do this habitually God should take care of the rest of the matter. This lady assured me that she would try to do exactly as I had asked although it seemed more plausible to doubt than to believe that she could be in perfect health again after so much suffering, and the opinions of several doctors that she was doomed.

Still again I told her most positively that it is written: "God is with you to save you!"

I asked her to remember that faith is alive and that it leads to more life which doubt is dead and leads nowhere. the leading characteristic of faith is that it constantly flows and burns with constantly increasing brightness and expectancy. Faith always travels in the one direction of understanding. Doubt is a blight upon every effort towards Truth.

This patient came to see me regularly every day for some two weeks; and her condition began to improve from the very start. Then she had only absent treatment at frequent intervals, with an occasional visit in person, for another six weeks. At the end of two months she was entirely free from any evidences of cancer, free in body, in mind and in affairs. Immediately she began to build up physically and when I last saw her, some two of three years after she first came to me, she was in robust health, prospering in business and sure of her contact with the Spirit.
