Some time has elapsed since I wrote you; and I feel that I must, as some one may desire to note the progress of, or hear from, this particular case, as in August, 1897, I only gave a brief sketch. Three years have worn away much error, wrought much improvement in me in every way—physically, mentally, morally, spiritually. More resignation to and dependence on the divine will of God. The progress has been real, gradual, instructive, healthful, joyous. I would not, if I could, turn back. Why should I? As Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal Life."
I have had two cases of broken toes and two of broken finger and thumb healed without even a bandage, courtplaster, or bathing of wounds, one a very bad compound fracture; I did my own work on these cases. The battle was the Lord's—He delivered me.
Another among the countless blessings received, was my deliverance from injury in a rear-end collision of two electric cars, August 4, last. Several persons seemed to be seriously injured, and though I was thrown fifteen feet or more into the street, and nearly under the wheels, I escaped with only a small bruise on one finger, which was not of any consequence. As I arose from the street and started for the car, a bystander remarked: "I thought you were killed." I said: "No; I'm all right." The claim of shock, internal injury, etc., seemed to come up afterward, and was met and mastered by a sister Scientist here. I could write all day of His loving-kindness, and of His mercy which endureth forever. I have been emerging into Christian Science for seven years; I find it all good for me. I do not think the price of the literature too high. I have had four copies of Science and Health, three have been passed to others; it is doing them good, so the money was well invested. I thank God for Christian Science.
