I wish to tell of a little demonstration I had one day
I wish to tell of a little demonstration I had one day. I broke the bone of my third finger and crushed two of the others very badly. I at once went into a room alone and realized the truth. The words of our Leader in Science and Health, p. 424, came to me: "Accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind." I knew that as God's child I could not be injured, neither could a bone be broken. Within a few minutes all pain had ceased and I proceeded about my duties as if nothing had happened. The fingers were very discolored for some days, and people in the house wondered how I could use them, but I felt no inconvenience whatever. This is only one of many testimonies I might give if space permitted. Some seeming business troubles of many years standing were met and brought to a satisfactory termination through my little understanding of Truth.
For all these many proofs of God's love to me and to others, above all for the great spiritual uplifting and the understanding of the Bible I have received through the reading of Science and Health and Mrs. Eddy's other works, I wish to express heartfelt praise and thanks to God. I also wish to express my gratitude and love to our Leader, who, through her pure life, has given us the revelation of truth that has brought such joy and peace to the world.
