About five years ago I suffered severely for over seven...
About five years ago I suffered severely for over seven weeks from the effects of poison oak. A few weeks later I had another attack, and the doctor said this trouble would occur every year at the same season for a period of seven years. This belief has been overcome in Christian Science, for I have never had a recurrence of the trouble, although I go into the woods and country more than ever before. While I was splitting wood one day, a splinter flew into my eye. As I realized instantly that "accidents are unknown to God" (Science and Health, p. 424), there was no sense of pain at all and the splinter was proved harmless.
For these healings—these evidences of God's goodness, mercy, and protection—I am truly grateful. I appreciate the great privilege of going to Sunday school, as it gives one a firm foundation in the understanding of this great truth.
