I should like to share an experience which proved to me the ever-presence of God as taught in Christian Science. We read in Isaiah, "I am the Lord, and there is none else."

One day, after completing some committee work at a branch church, I was taking some Christian Science literature to a distribution box. The car which I was driving, and of which I was the only occupant, was struck by a delivery truck. Instantly I thought of God and was conscious of an all-pervading sense of peace and gratitude. The car overturned, and because of its position I was lifted out by the driver of the truck, but I was unharmed and undisturbed. A crowd gathered and the remark was made that a miracle had happened, but Christian Scientists know that what seemed to be a miracle was the evidence of the ever-presence of good.

The crowd was solicitous, and I sensed that it might not be easy to break away from it. Some men righted the car, and as they did so I took from it the bundle of literature. A copy of The Christian Science Journal fell to the ground, and as I picked it up a young woman stepped close and said quietly, "Now we know why you are so beautifully protected." She then invited me to her home, which was near by. As I started to go with her, a man advised me what to do in regard to the car. These two met my human need at that time. After I had attended to the necessary telephoning this young woman said, "You are so calm;" and I answered, "Because it never really happened."
