The Bible teaches that we need not fear poison of any sort. I remember when I was a little girl, I unknowingly touched some poison ivy, with the result that my face and hands were irritated and inflamed for some time. Since I have learned to trust in the promises of Christ Jesus, illumined by the teachings of Christian Science, I have had an opportunity to prove man's immunity from a like evil. A friend and I went to stroll in the woods, one afternoon, and I sat down on the ground under a huge tree. Suddenly my companion cried out in great alarm that I was sitting in the midst of a mass of poison ivy, with my bare hands right among the leaves, but I felt no fear, and went home without giving it a thought. That evening, however, I began to feel an itching and irritation under the skin, and a wave of fear came over me lest I might have been affected after all. Then a calm, soothing thought from our text-book came to me (Science and Health, p. 515), and straightway I knew that I was healed, and I rejoiced anew in the gospel of health, and peace, and love.
