A Remarkable Case of Mental Dentistry

Magdalena Weischedel

To this age has come a glorious light. The words and works of Jesus have been revealed to us in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," so that all may come and share the Light of which St. John said, "He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world." We had heard of this light before coming into the understanding of Christian Science; but now our eyes behold, that our feet may walk therein and not stray.

We ofttimes hear some who are just coming into this (to them) new Light, say that they cannot always see clearly. Let me give to such my experience while taking a trip on my wheel a distance of one hundred and twenty-five miles in South Dakota. One evening going from one station to another, I got off the main road, and followed the railroad. This was full of weeds which would get into my wheel so that I had to get off and walk. By this time it was dark, no house to be seen, and I had gone too far to return. The best thing I could do was to keep going, and I should reach the station. Whenever I was on the top of a hill I could see the lights of the city; but when I was in the valley it was dark. Each time the light would appear brighter and clearer, until I reached the city.

I think it is often so in making our demonstrations. When we get out of the valley of self we see the Life divine, in which there is no darkness, sin, sickness, nor death. Being accustomed to believe that there was life in matter, we have many valleys to cross, until we see the real and true Light. In Science We have the proof, and can also "bear witness of the Light."
