A Help in Time of Need

H. T. R.

A few days since I had a demonstration which may be a help to others.

We are burning natural gas in the cooking range, and in some way the burners in the oven were slightly turned. I detected the odor of gas but could not seem to find the escape. This was while getting dinner at evening. I always turn the gas quite off from the pipe when through with it, therefore it did not escape through the night. When I came to get my breakfast the following morning the same trouble was apparent. At last I tried each burner and found the oven burners slightly turned; my stove was lighted and when I had made sure that my oven burners were quite turned off, without thinking of danger I opened the oven door; as I did so, there came a blinding flash which filled the stove, and as I was quite in front I received the flame in my face. My eyebrows and eyelashes and great handsful of my hair were singed off. For a moment I did not know or think of a burn. The beautiful part was this, as with the flash these words seemed to be my protection, "He shall give his angels charge over thee." Then feeling the smarting I denied the belief of sensation in matter and kept on getting my breakfast, but continued to declare the Truth as best I could.

It may have been an hour before all sense of the belief of pain left me, but none of the family at breakfast discovered that the flame had touched my face, therefore it could not have been red on account of the burn. In two days the skin came off from one side of my face, as a proof of the severeness of the explosion.
