"Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?" (Ps. 139:7.) God's omnipresence, implied in these questions, was proved in my experience while I was on a motor trip some two thousand miles from home and suffered a sprained foot.

Sitting quietly, and turning my thought away from the body to the perfection of my spiritual being in God's likeness, the pain subsided within a few hours. But I was unable to walk without extreme discomfort. I found myself thinking, "This would be so much easier to heal through prayer in Christian Science if I were at home."

The next morning when I awoke, my first inclination was to see if I could walk. But the thought came, "Before you get up you must know that, as actually the image and likeness of God, you express perfect activity." I sat up in bed and began the study of the Bible Lesson, provided in the Christian Science Quarterly. It was then that it dawned on me that I could never be outside God's presence.
