"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." Not in some ways, but "in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
My husband, having done a heavy day's work, and the day being extremely warm, had decided to take a bath after sundown in the lake, which is near at hand. He felt well before going into the water, but after he came out he said he felt very weak; so he retired for the night, thinking the sickness would pass off by morning. Next morning, when he arose, he seemed weaker than the evening before. Error now seemed to take a rapid course, for he said his entire eyesight was gone. He was then sitting on a chair in the kitchen, and I was unable to assist him to his bed. His gaze was visionless, his face pallid, and his feet were getting cold. Error was whispering loudly to me, but I tried my best to keep fear at a distance. Then suddenly he said, "I do not want to think of passing on yet." When this was said, fear got hold of me for a moment. Help was needed, and needed quickly. I decided to plant my feet firmly on the rock of Truth, and know that any help would have to come from God alone. I then told my husband that this body had not given him his life, nor could it take it from him. "God is your life," I said, telling him to realize this statement and hold to it firmly. In a short time he was able to get on his feet and go to bed with my assistance. I then repeated the ninety-first psalm to him several times, and read to him from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. The natural color came back to his face, his eyesight returned, and he was able to eat breakfast, which I brought to him—and this all inside of half an hour. The weakness passed off gradually; and in two days he was back at work.
For this healing we are most grateful to God, and also grateful to Mrs. Eddy for having made the truth so plain to us that it can be applied to all problems which arise.— Nashotah, Wis.
