"To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." These words from the first page of the Preface of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy were with me constantly at one period; they brought the expectation of good, and my thought was illumined.
During this time our children were young, and it was my privilege to spend two or three mornings a week in a Christian Science Reading Room while they were in nursery school. One noon when I went to get them, I found that our older girl had severely injured her face in a fall. She was not recognizable as the little girl I had left there in the morning. After expressing my gratitude for the care she had been given by the director of the school, who was a Christian Scientist, I took the children and started home. On the way I called a practitioner, but she was not in. Since the child seemed to be losing consciousness and to be in a state of shock, I drove to the practitioner's home, thinking she might have returned. She was not there; and as I came away, I declared aloud that my help is ever present. I was sure of God's omnipresence.
In less than five minutes we were at home, and the child's face had resumed its natural shape and color; there was no evidence that she had been injured at all.
