"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." These opening words in the Preface of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p vii) have been proved over and over again in my experience. As I have learned through the study of Christian Science just how to lean on the sustaining infinite, I have received many blessings, and I am humbly grateful. The following experience was a proof to me of the power of Truth.

On the Monday before Thanksgiving, three years ago, I was sitting in a chair knitting with four double-pointed steel needles. I had slipped off my shoes, and when the telephone rang I jumped up to answer it. Somehow one of the knitting needles dropped to the floor and must have fallen against one shoe, in an upright position. As I got up I stepped on it, and it went almost through one foot. The pain was very sharp, but as I sat down to pull the needle from my foot, I repeated "the scientific statement of being" (ibid., p. 468). I denied the reality of pain and affirmed specific truths, as I had been taught to do in Christian Science.

One of the suggestions that came to me was that I would not be able to play the organ at church on Wednesday evening and on Thanksgiving Day; but I knew that nothing could interfere with the operation of God's law of harmony. On Wednesday morning it was difficult to get my shoe on, though there was no discoloration. I did all the necessary daily things I had to do, including organ practicing. By evening I was able to put on a pair of high-heeled shoes, because my foot was entirely normal. I played the organ that evening and the following morning. My heart was filled with gratitude for this proof of healing received through Christian Science.
