Our hearts are so full of love and gratitude to God for giving us our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who has made the Christ, Truth, understandable to this age.

Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 201), "The best sermon ever preached is Truth practised and demonstrated by the destruction of sin, sickness, and death." So I should like to tell how we proved the omnipotence of God at the time of an automobile accident. As I felt the brakes go on and saw that collision was inevitable, I put myself in God's care; and as a result I felt no jar and did not hear the crash, neither did I experience any sense of fear.

I awoke on the operating table in a hospital, to which I had immediately been conveyed, with the same sense of protection and the closeness of God; and I saw a Christian Science practitioner, whom my husband had called after the accident, standing by. A great sense of peace, that "peace of God, which passeth all understanding," was with me, and I clung to "the scientific statement of being" (Science and Health, p. 468). I knew that matter had no life to give, nor to take; therefore, there was nothing to fear; that there was no substance, no intelligence, in matter; that it could not tell me of pain, for "all is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation" (ibid.).
