One evening, while crossing an avenue in East Denver, without any warning I was suddenly struck on the left side by a man riding rapidly on a bicycle. I did not see him, nor did he see me, until after the collision. I was thrown quite a distance, landing near the middle of the graveled avenue, and the rider fell alongside of me. My prayer had instantly gone up that neither of us should be hurt, and though for a time I was somewhat dazed, I finally succeeded in getting upon my feet and satisfied myself that there was no serious injury. The rider also expressed the same feeling. I continued my walk for nearly a quarter of a mile to a street-car line. When I reached it I had no feeling of lameness, pain, or bruise, but felt so buoyant and uplifted that I continued my walk to my rooms—a walk altogether of nearly three quarters of a mile. The most remarkable part of it was that after rolling on the gravel I could not find a scratch upon my hands or any part of my body, nor any tear or injury to my clothes. I slept perfectly the whole night through, and awoke in the morning with a heart full of thankfulness that God had completely protected me. The next day I was able to help a sufferer immediately, with this truth. My heart bounded with delight, and there burst from my very soul that "Gloria in Excelsis" of our dear Leader, used in her dedicatory message: "Glory be to Thee, Thou God most high and nigh." These two demonstrations coming so closely together gave me a great spiritual blessing, "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding."
