I am very thankful for what Christian Science has done for me since taking up the study of it over twelve years ago. At that time I was healed instantaneously of what seemed the worst temper any woman could have. When I had read only a small part of our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I saw that God's child could only possess what was good, and that temper was not good so it did not come from God and could not belong to His idea. I am very thankful it has left me.

Then I had a fear of what I would do in case of accident, but I proved that perfect Love casts out fear. Some boiling fat was upset over my face and I could not see, but I had no fear and kept my thought firmly fixed on the truth of being, with the result that I was able to see quite clearly in a few minutes. In less than twenty minutes the pain was gone, and in less than three hours there was no sign of a burn on my face; but some of the fat had gone on my wrist, and I tried to hide the injury from my husband and some friends in the house, thus admitting its reality. As a consequence I had a big scar on my wrist for a fortnight. Through knowing that God is the source of supply we have been lifted out of want into plenty.
