"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." This first sentence in the preface of Science and Health means much to me, as I was drifting without an anchor, without God, until about seven years ago when I came to Christian Science for physical healing. I received more, as I got the spiritual also. Since then I read my Bible in connection with our text-book and love it; together they are my daily companions. I feel that I am a living monument to the healing power of Christian Science, as there was a time in my illness when it did not seem possible for me to live, but the demonstration was made for me. I have proved many times that God is an ever-present help, in trouble, in sickness, and in accident.

I was visiting in a strange house and made a mistake in a door. It was at dusk, and the next thing was that I found myself on the cellar bottom. All was blank for a moment, then the first thought came, God is my Life. I can't be hurt. Then came quickly the thought that I must impress it upon the others that I was not hurt. They helped me upstairs: my arms were badly bruised, but no one saw them except my husband. The shock had seemed very dreadful, but after going to my room, for just a few moments (all the time declaring truth for myself), I went to the table and ate my supper. They said they never saw such grit, but I knew it was the power of divine Love. I overcame the suffering in my head the next morning while out driving. I went on as if the accident had not happened, and in a very few days was all right.

I have had the privilege of class instruction with one of Mrs. Eddy's students, and have found her a true friend. For the many benefits I have received I wish to express my gratitude to God, to the great Wayshower, and to that noble woman, our Leader, for this wonderful truth.
