In gratitude to God and to our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I give my testimony with the hope that it may benefit another.
For many years I had a dread of extreme weather conditions, such as high temperature in summer and low temperature in winter. Also, it seemed curious to me that a planetary system should be so out of harmony with its inhabitants, but I thought that perhaps it had been made perfect and had changed since being created. These are some of the many thoughts that ran through my consciousness while I was working out a solution to error's false claim about a material universe.
One morning I was seated in a trolley car on my way to work, and I noticed that nearly everyone on board was beginning to show signs of suffering from what appeared to be the start of a very hot day. The car passed a signboard on top of which was mounted a large thermometer. The temperature was extremely high for such an early hour, and as the people saw this reading it seemed to intensify the suffering among them. As I observed the situation, the experience of the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace came to my thought. It seemed that this condition was very much less a problem than that of the Hebrew boys, although the intensity of the heat was plainly evident.
