Testimonies of Healing

A recent accident and demonstration which came to...

From the October 1900 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A recent accident and demonstration which came to me may be helpful and interesting to others.

While in my kitchen, superintending some of my household affairs, I overturned a large panful of boiling water. The water covered my left hand and arm nearly to the elbow, and poured down the left side, filling my shoe, which was low and somewhat loose.

My first impulse was to remove the shoe and stocking, and otherwise pull the wet clothing from my smarting flesh. But glancing at my left hand, and seeing it was already beginning to look like a piece of raw meat, I did nothing of the sort, but immediately began to demonstrate. My realization of divine Principle as the only Causation, and of its idea as perfect, even as itself is perfect, came so quickly that the error was cast out almost instantaneously.
