No Evil shall befall Thee

Susan H. F. Brown

To realize that there is no accident in the divine Mind is a great protection in time of danger. I was riding in a cart when the horses ran away,—dashing across in front of an electric car, just missing the curb-stone on a corner, to whirl almost on to the stone edging of a public flower bed. The cart stood on two wheels most of the time. The dash was soon over, but furious while it lasted. It is said we can think quickly at such times. From the start, I held to the Truth, and not once did I fear. I knew I was safe, no matter how the ride ended. A dear friend saw me as I passed her carriage, and spoke to the coachman to follow us. She also declared the Truth. When all was over and I sprang out of the cart, she was waiting to take me home. We soon had a hearty laugh; not a bit of nervousness was left. In the old thought it would have prostrated me.

The more we realize the protecting power of divine Mind the more safe we are. We have always known it in a vague way, but Christian Science makes it tangible and real.

At another time I was crossing a crowded street when a messenger boy, riding a bicycle at a furious pace, turned the corner, striking me with such force that I was thrown on my side on the pavement. The boy was thrown from his wheel which fell in another direction. A crowd collected at once. On gaining my feet, I felt shaken up and dazed, but at once realized the Truth, that there is no accident in divine Mind. I had walked only half a block when all nervousness was gone and no trace of the shock I had received was left, not even a bruise.
