In the first sentence of the Preface to the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, gives us a wonderful promise (p. vii): "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." I have proved this truth very often, and I am most grateful.

One beautiful experience occurred which I should like to share with others through the pages of our periodicals. Very late one evening I apparently dislocated my elbow. Great fear was expressed by the other members of the household, who wished to call a doctor. But I asked that I be left alone, and when my request had been granted, I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner and asked for help. She came to see me immediately, and her love and understanding comforted and assured me of my perfection as a child of God. In addition, she turned my thought to God's perfect universe, in which everything is always in its right place.

About half an hour after her visit, whilst I was reading the citations which she had given me from the Bible and from our textbook, I felt a great sense of peace and of the presence of the Christ. At that moment the bone moved gently back into place, and I was healed.
