A Severe Burn Healed

John N. Tegarden

Having had a recent manifestation of the power of Mind over matter, I gladly send this experience, that the testimony may be helpful to others, and that I may in a way express my gratitude for the Truth given us in making plain the Holy Scriptures through the text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

I am an employee in a large glass factory, attending the furnaces and preparing the glass for the melting process The furnaces are heated and run by gas power. It is always necessary to use the utmost care in keeping the gas in the ovens regulated to produce a certain temperature all the year round. On November 18, I found it necessary to place a new pot in one of the ovens. The gas had been lowered in the arch of the oven to allow placing the pot, and had in some way blown out and the gas was escaping. I turned it off and went for a torch to relight it.

Returning I thought the escaped gas had gone up the chimney, and knowing the pot was in danger if the temperature of the oven cooled too much, I applied the torch and immediately an explosion took place Seemingly I lost consciousness. As this happened at two o'clock in the morning, there was only one other man on the premises. The man, hearing the noise, hurried to the place where I was and found me lying on a pile of iron bottle molds some fifteen feet from the furnace.
