Last winter, I scalded my face and neck severely with boiling tea. I had put the tea into an air-tight can on the stove, and when I tried to remove the cover, there was a loud report, and all the tea and tea leaves shot up into my face. My husband ran for the soda and molasses, but I would not permit him to apply it. I declared the Truth audibly, and asked my husband to call my sister, who lived just two blocks away. We both worked in Science for about an hour, when all the pain left me. Next morning I went about my daily duties. My face was a terrible sight, and it was suggested that I would be disfigured. The water ran out of my eyes and off my face for two days, and the skin peeled off. In one week there was not the least sign of a scar or mark on my face or neck. I read Science and Health each day and felt very joyful. The neighbors said it was wonderful. Since I accepted Science I have overcome many forms of error, which has proved to me beyound the shadow of a doubt that God, understood and demonstrated according to the rules of Christian Science, is a present help in time of trouble.
