In the later part of August, 1903, at two O'clock in the morning, I was roused up suddenly from sound sleep by my telephone bell ringing loudly. I sprang from the bed quickly, in a dazed condition of thought, and struck my right foot against the leg of a large chair, and broke the third toe off short at the second joint. For a moment I could not think (seemingly), and the pain was to mortal sense so great, it was terrible, but I soon rallied, and I realized quickly and clearly the Truth of being. I then walked on the heel of that foot to the telephone, to know what was wanted. It was a call for quick help, and I replied that I would do what I could. I walked back through a long hall to my bed, and sat down on the side of it and realized the Truth of being, for the one calling for help. I then got into bed, and brought the toe, which was hanging straight down, up on a line with the others. I then pressed my left foot against it, to hold it up, and worked in thought. Later I fell asleep and knew no more of the toe until I arose in the morning, when, putting the foot on the floor, I was reminded of what had happened in the night, for again the sense of pain was terrible. I quickly declared the truth, and again walked on the heel to my dressing room, sat down and put on my stocking, and pressing the toe up in its natural position, I put on my shoe, and after both feet were dressed I arose to walk. Error screamed, You cannot do it, but I realized quickly that Mind is master, and I walked on the foot, and kept walking until all pain ceased. I kept the shoe on all day, but when at night I took it off, error again tried to assert itself to prevent me from walking.

Again the strong, clear declaration of the Truth of being mastered the situation, and I rested well through the night without any pain. In the morning error again appeared, but for the last time, for I put on my stocking and shoe, and went all day without any discomfort or pain, and on the third day the toe remained in its normal position, and has given me no further trouble. I had refused to talk about the accident, and did not look at the toe, but placed it where it belonged without looking at it. I refused to recognize the thought that error could manifest itself.
