"I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me" (Isa. 45:5). It is with much gratitude that I relate the following experiences which have proved to me the ever-presence of God and His healing power.

Some years ago, when yet a young student of Christian Science, I was visiting a farm within bicycling distance from a place where I was spending a week's vacation. The owner of the farm had a very large dog which had been subjected to severe mistreatment by its former owners. When I approached the dog and lifted my hand to pat it on the head, the chained animal quickly lunged forward and bit me very severely on the leg.

Being young in the study of Christian Science, I did not think of calling for help from a Christian Science practitioner, but I did have the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. I still recall the first words that met my eyes when I opened it (p. 124): "Adhesion, cohesion, and attraction are properties of Mind." The appropriateness of this statement was not so apparent to me at that time as it has become during succeeding years, but that sentence stayed with me throughout the healing, which was completed about two months later. Although much tissue had to grow back, the leg became entirely normal.
