I feel very thankful for a beautiful demonstration over an injury to my left eye. A few weeks ago, I suddenly struck my eye with a penholder. At first I did not think anything of it, but in a few moments I felt a dart of pain, and immediately declared the truth. I am a bookkeeper, and those associated with me in business are not Christian Scientists. My employer was standing near by and said, "Oh, how you have hurt your eye!" and in great fear exclaimed, "What will we do without you?" (as stock was being taken at the time). I answered that my eye would soon be healed. The mortal mind thought held over me was very great. They declared, "You must go to an oculist at once." I kept as quiet as possible, and when I arrived home the practitioner was called. She said afterwards that at the time fear crept over her, the eye had such a frightful apperance, as the entire ball was covered with blood, and from the corner hung a small sack of clotted blood. This happened in the evening. The practitioner worked all during the night to destroy the manifestation as well as her own fear.

I slept well all night and the next morning the worst conditions had disappeared without any symptoms of inflammation, although the eye looked very bad. I was asked. "Do you feel anxious, and would you like to consult an oculist?" I said, "No; I am willing to trust Truth and feel that I will come out all right." The good work went on and in ten days the trouble was overcome. In two weeks every trace of it had disappeared. I will add that I only remained away from work two days.

I gladly acknowledge the benefit received from the treatments. The love reflected by my dear practitioner reassured me, for I was touched by the mortal fear around me on the evening of the supposed injury. There are no words strong enough to make it clear how truly thankful I feel to God, and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, also to the practitioner for showing me so lovingly the way out of all human fear, and I realize more and more how thankful I should be for Christian Science.
