No evidence of the burn

Phillip Hewitt

Words cannot begin to express my gratitude to our dear Father-Mother for Christian Science and its healing power. I give all “thanks …[to] God for his unspeakable gift” (II Corinthians 9:15).

About a year ago I was preparing supper for my family. I turned the oven on to cook and in about 20 minutes came back to put supper in the oven. I had forgotten that I had stored an iron skillet in the oven, and when I tried to put the meal in, I discovered the skillet.

Without even realizing what I was doing, I grabbed the skillet by the handle and immediately felt a burning sensation. I calmly put the skillet down and turned directly to God. I silently and audibly declared that there is no sensation in matter. I just remained calm, holding on to “the divine Truth that makes man free.” Mary Baker Eddy writes, “A Christian Scientist’s medicine is Mind, the divine Truth that makes man free” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 453).
