For all the encouragement and inspiration I have received from reading testimonies in the Christian Science periodicals during many years, I am deeply grateful. Truly the blessings and healings that have resulted from the study and practice of this revealed truth cannot be numbered.

There have been some outstanding healings of difficulties which to human sense were of a serious nature. When our daughter was six years of age, she was healed of a severe attack of scarlet fever when Mrs. Eddy's hymn beginning "Shepherd, show me how to go" (Poems, p. 14) was sung to her. She was sick for a week only, when the healing took place, and there was no convalescent period. At another time a broken collarbone was set by mental surgery alone, before medical aid arrived. As the young student grew to the teen age, the realization that man reflects divine intelligence and that all right and true ideas are present when needed, helped solve many a difficult school problem, especially during the later grades.

When our son was fifteen he went to work with two of his uncles during his summer holidays. They were engaged in putting up large oil tanks in small towns. At the time, I was visiting a sister in eastern Canada. I was talking with her one day in her kitchen when the thought of an accident to my son came to me. I tried to put it away as a suggestion of mortal mind, but it was so insistent that I excused myself and went to my room, where I worked to know the perfection of God's universe. I declared firmly that God fills all space and that He governs all thought as well as all action; also, that under His perfect law and order there can be no accidents. Finally I felt free and confident, and returned to my sister, but I said nothing of it to her because she was not interested in Science.
