In the spring of 1907 I started on a trip to visit relatives in Oakland. When I had about reached my destination the conductor gave the name of a station, and picking up my things I made for the door, not noticing that the train was still moving, and jumped off, landing on my side. My hip was so badly injured that I could scarcely get up or walk. On making inquiries I found I had gotten off at the wrong station and would have to walk half a mile to reach the electric cars. I kept declaring the truth, and when I reached my destination was much better. By the next day I was well. There was never a sign of swelling or discoloration, and no one knew about the accident except, my cousin, who agreed not to speak of it.
Since coming into Science my disposition has changed to a great extent, so that I am not like the same person. Temper, stubbornness, and impatience have been overcome, as well as nervousness and fear. I cannot but strive for that "true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." I feel very grateful to God for giving us Mrs. Eddy to show and lead us in the way of all Truth and Love.— Oakdale, Cal.
