My progress out of sense into Soul, has been very slow yet I am thankful to know that an invisible hand has been guiding me on, and still on, to a truer and larger living This has often been the entire opposite of a flowery path way, but there have been some triumphs which have cheered the way. I want to tell others of what Truth did for me in a time of accident last May. I had a small can on the stove with a tight cover over it. As I went to look into it it exploded. The cover blew off and instantly all the contents flew up, covering my face and neck. My first though was, that I was blind, for I could discern very little light with my left eye. My whole face was in a solid blister This happened about two o'clock, and I was alone until four o' clock, when a friend came in. She was really horrified at my appearance, and wanted to run for a doctor I tried to calm her, and told her that I believed in Christian Science and wanted nothing else. She then went for some of my family. The two hours alone had proved a blessing giving time for the truth to begin its perfect work before any opposition could come from outside thoughts. I turned to God as never before, and in less than half an hour all pain and fear had left me, but I did not think it wise to be without help, so I telegraphed for treatment. My face and eyes healed perfectly, without a single scar, in two weeks
Being for several years the only one here who was interested in Science, it seemed difficult for me to make the demonstration of taking my name out of my former church but divine Love at last made it possible, and I found that what I had feared so long was nothing but a shadow when I came up to it. Lately there has been an ever-increasing desire to live where I could have Christian Science church privileges. I have left it with God, however, willing to be where He would have me. This word of Scripture is always in my thought, "Be still, and know that I am God," and I know the way is open. I have indeed much to be grateful to God for. One of those who has helped me, gave me this thought, "The walls of Jericho did not fall down until the shout of triumph went up."
I thank God for the guidance that came to me when I was in utter despair and darkness. I am filled with loving gratitude to Him for leading me into this blessed truth, and to dear Mrs. Eddy, who walks so close to God, that she sees the light clearly enough to guide others into it.
