A Grain of Understanding

K. Suart

We are taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" that even a grain of the understanding of Truth helps immensely, and I personally found this so, even when I first heard of Christian Science.

Some dear friends with whom we had been staying in the country, and who had come into Science, had explained the new thought to my inquiring and unsatisfied mind, and given me a glimpse of Reality. I had seen also their proofs of faith by their works, and the dawning of this day filled me with high hopes and a restless longing that I might get more light.

When I left them to pay another visit, I had an early and unexpected opportunity of proving that I had my "grain" of understanding. One afternoon, my daughter and I went for a drive in a low phaeton. We had no groom with us, so I took the reins. We were driving in Richmond Park, and just before descending a little incline a man some fifty yards ahead of us fell off his bicycle and startled our pony so much that she plunged forward, and in a moment had the bit between her teeth and was off full gallop down the incline. As I afterwards found, they had forgotten to put any breeching on in harnessing her, and the carriage coming on to her hocks only terrified her the more and maddened her gallop.
