"This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God." I have had such a glorious proof of the truth of these words, and of God's care and protection in what, to mortal sense, seemed a miraculous escape from death, that my heart goes out in deep gratitude to Him whom we call Father. On the morning of January 15, 1902, I was run over by a runaway horse. I was directly in front of a plate glass window and the horse dashed through the window, making an opening for me and thus preventing my being crushed against the brick block. I received two cuts on the head from glass, one of them being laid open to the bone. I extricated myself as best I could, before any one could get to my rescue. The crowd that gathered were amazed to see me emerge alive and walk across the street into a store. A physician who arrived at this time said he had better sew the wounds up. I submitted to the sewing of one, while at the same time realizing the truth for myself. I experienced no pain or suffering whatever during the sewing up of the wound, which seemed to astonish the physician as well as those who witnessed it. The cut was directly over the right eye, and through the eyebrow, but it did not injure the eye.

In a few days I was about my work as usual. Surely Christian Science has taught us how to know and serve the living God. Through it we find a God who is nearer and dearer than all else. Love is our watchword and our guide, wherever we are and under whatever circumstances.
