In the Nautilus magazine of March, 1917, there appears an
article about a boy suffering from Pott’s disease, or tuberculosis
at the spine, who had a remarkable healing. His name was
Frederick Elias Andrews of Indianapolis, now minister of
Unity School of Christianity, Kansas City, Missouri. His
physician pronounced him incurable. He began to pray, and
from a crooked, twisted cripple going about on hands and
knees, he became a strong, straight, well-formed man. He
created his own affirmation, mentally absorbing the qualities
he needed.
He affirmed over and over again many times a day, “I
am whole, perfect, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and
happy.” He persevered and said that this prayer was the last
utterance on his lips at night and the first in the morning. He
prayed for others also by sending out thoughts of love and
health. This attitude of mind and way of prayer returned to
him multiplied many times. His faith and perseverance paid
off with big dividends. When thoughts of fear, anger, jealousy,
or envy drew his attention, he would immediately start his
counteracting force of affirmation going in his mind. His
subconscious mind responded according to the nature of his.
habitual thinking. This is the meaning of the statement in the
Bible, Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole. MARK 10:52.
