Listening to God aids pupil during examinations

Ann Louise Adams

I am very grateful for the privilege of having been brought up in Christian Science and of having attended the Sunday School from the time I was three until I was twenty.

Two healings stand out in my memory. The first was that of a fairly deep dog bite. I declared the truth of my oneness or unity with God, knowing that God was my Life and that, surrounded by His love, nothing could harm me. The love I felt for the dog cast out my fear, and I experienced no pain while my friend and I continued our walk towards home. A practitioner was called, and my leg was completely healed in a few days. During that time I attended school as usual, and my leg caused me no inconvenience and attracted little attention.

At another time I picked up a plate which had just been taken out of the oven, and it was so hot that it stuck to my hand. I immediately started repeating "the scientific statement of being," found on page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. I put the plate into the hot dishwater and finished washing the dishes, knowing that there is no intelligence in matter and that my hand could therefore not feel pain or show any evidence of the burn. I mentioned the experience to no one, and there was no sign of a burn on my hand when I dried it a few minutes later.
