There is absolutely nothing more comforting or encouraging...

There is absolutely nothing more comforting or encouraging than the realization that wherever we are, whatever we are working at, or whatever is expected of us at any and at all times, the omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience of divine Principle is always at hand. Our Lord and Master said, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world;" also, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you."

Not long ago, while changing some temporary lights in a building under construction, I had occasion to cut a line of duplex wire which I knew was the feed wire; and thinking it was dead, as the current had been turned off on account of some cable splicing being done on the main lines, I proceeded with a pair of pliers; but as soon as the pliers had cut through the insulation I found that the current had been turned on, for instantly there was a flash, which melted the jaws of the pliers, the hot metal running down on my gloved hand, causing a slight burn. At once I began to take care of the situation mentally, following out the thought that there is nothing in God's kingdom that can hurt, harm, mar, or injure any one of His ideas in any manner, which thoroughly comforted. This occurred in the morning; and that evening upon my arrival home the hand was bathed, removing the smoke. I am very thankful to say there was not even a bandage necessary. The most remarkable part of this experience is the fact that the flash of the two hundred and forty volts, direct current, smoked the wall considerably, but did not touch my face, which was just as close to the flash as the wall.

It is certainly a great pleasure to be able, even in a slight degree, to see the change in thought for the good that is taking place on the many questions of the hour, and the innumerable blessings Christian Science is giving, generally, to the age, which are mental signs of the times.
