"He shall give his angels charge over thee. ... They shall bear thee up in their hands." In Science and Health we learn that angels are "pure thoughts from God, winged with Truth and Love" (p. 298). Their power was proved to me recently by a little experience. On returning to my office after lunch one day, I found that the elevator had ceased running, and it was necessary for me to walk up twelve flights of steps to reach my office. Instead of thinking, as I had many times before, what a shame it was that I should have to climb such a distance, and looking to my feet to raise me from step to step, I remembered the right thought, "Whatever it is our duty to do, can be done without harm to ourselves" (Science and Health, p. 385), and knowing that Mind, not matter, lifted and supported me, I started up, and reached the top floor without having to stop once. On previous occasions I had been obliged to pause at the end of every flight of steps, and sometimes oftener, as my knees seemed to ache so that I could not move. Truly the wrong thought was heavy, and held me down, whereas the right thoughts bore me up, for they were winged with Truth and Love, instead of error and hate.—Miss Marguerite Tebbs, San Francisco, Cal.
