It was not the appeal of physical healing that drew me to the study of this Science, but the promise of that "peace of God, which passeth all understanding."
Recently I have had a wonderful proof of God's healing and protecting care in a physical way. One morning when I reached up to screw an electric bulb into a socket the glass globe broke in my hand and a shower of glass fell like a cloud. It seemed at the time as if a piece of glass had lodged in my eye, but when I looked there was nothing to be seen. There was no inflammation, no discoloration or pain. Many times during the day I rubbed the eye, and each time I prayed over it devoutly, for I thought it might prove a dangerous thing to have a piece of glass in the eye for any length of time. I slept well that night, but when I awakened in the morning it was difficult to raise the eyelid and there was a stinging pain in the corner of the eye. Again I looked, and again there was nothing to be seen, no bloodshot eye. I concluded that a piece of glass had struck the eyelid and caused a sensitiveness of the eyeball. About eleven o'clock in the morning, as I was talking to a friend, suddenly I could not see out of the eye: it was a terrible sensation. Once more I looked, and lying over the pupil of the eye, obstructing vision, was a piece of glass about the size of my little finger nail. The glass came away on my handkerchief, and both my friend and I exclaimed, "How wonderful!" for mortals always think that those things that are divinely natural are wonderful.
I was deeply grateful, for I had proved that God's promises are true and practical, and that they do help us to work out our daily problems. I had declared time and again that there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed, and nothing covered that shall not be made manifest.
