Many years ago, when highways...

Amy Ireland

Many years ago, when highways were not maintained as they are today and during the winter months one drove under adverse conditions, my minimum mileage a year was thirty thousand miles. Four mornings a week I was out on the highway before the snowplows were put to work. One Wednesday morning, after I had driven about ten miles, in car stalled in snow which was packed smooth and solid. I abandoned the car and walked back three quarters of a mile to a farmhouse, where I telephoned to a garage to send a car for me and a driver to get my car. On the homeward trip I learned that it was then thirty-five degrees below zero, and I discovered that my legs were frozen from the ankles to the knees.

My first copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, had been given to me by a friend. I telephoned to her, telling her of my predicament and asking for metaphysical help, which she gave for four days. As I lived alone, during the four days I studied the Bible and Science and Health. The real testing time came when I tried to walk and found upon rising in the morning that there was no circulation in my feet. On the following Sunday a church service was held in my home, at which time my friend said that she had worked to know that my rest would be unbroken. I had slept soundly during the nights.

I resumed my work the following morning. In two weeks the blisters had disappeared, although it was two or three years before they ceased to reappear during cold weather.
