While visiting in Los Angeles, I accompanied my hostess...

While visiting in Los Angeles, I accompanied my hostess to a beautiful park. In stepping down from the street car, my foot turned, so that the ankle-bone touched the ground, and I caught at the lady's arm to keep from falling. I declared the truth, and we walked around over an hour and then returned to the city. There we went to several stores, and I stood around while my friend attended to some shopping. By the time we reached home, I had been on my feet nearly four hours, without an opportunity for more than the first simple denial of the error. I sat down to give the much-needed treatment, for the swelling had extended to my knee, and the pain seemed to be very great. There was no time, however, to make any declaration, beyond what I had already said mentally, for my hostess came and begged me to recive a caller. At first it appeared impossible, for the lie seemed almost a truth, but I knew an expression of courtesy never harmed any one. The way to the next room seemed to be a mile long and to be paved with sharp knives, but I went there without limping. When I was at last free, the sense of pain had made me sick, and I had to lie down to do my work. The counsel of our beloved Leader came to me, to have no other trust than Truth, and with this I made my demonstration. For a time it seemed like pushing against a stone wall, so stubborn was the mental resistance, but in about two hours I was relieved, the pain gone, the swelling and discoloration also. After dinner I had occasion to run up and down stairs several times, and took a walk, absolutely well.

This is only one of the many daily proofs I have of the great debt I owe to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science.
