That the divine Mind does direct and govern has been proved to me many times. A few years ago, while living in Montana, I had occasion to see the workings of this omnipresent, directing All-power, not only to the receptive thought but to all who were concerned.

Our home was diagonally across the street from a grade school. Among the pupils of this school was a boy, seven or eight years old, who had been brought up in Christian Science, his mother being an earnest student of the subject. One day at playtime, while coasting down a slide, the boy fell off his sled backwards. The rear end of the steel runner of the sled was worn off sharp, like a knife or chisel, and this sharp end struck him just below the eye, wounding the eyeball and cutting away its support. He and a playmate came over to our home, and when I opened the door I immediately recognized the boy and told him to come in. He pointed to his eye, but said not a word. I told the other child to run back to school as this boy would stay with us for a while, and that he would be all right.

Immediately after the boy entered the house the flow of blood was stanched. My wife and I washed his face, holding the parts in place. A practitioner was called whom we thought the mother would want, and a taxi was sent after the mother, four miles into the country. The wound was not mentioned by us or by the boy, but we talked to him of ever present Love and its governing power. Not once did he express anything but harmony. He had no pain. Owing to the nature of the wound, his mother decided to have a surgeon sew it up. During the operation the boy had no anaesthetic, and smilingly conversed with the surgeon. In three days the wound was so completely healed and obliterated that the boy returned to school, and no one even questioned him about his absence.
