Carl H. Parkinson

Every six months when the Bible Lesson outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly is on the subject "God the Preserver of Man," I give thanks for proofs I have had of God's protective and preserving power. One experience remains vividly in my memory.

At the time, my wife and I lived in a remote country village where the only form of power was electricity delivered by overhead lines. Those lines were often struck by lightning. During the week under discussion, my wife and I had been studying the Bible Lesson very earnestly, affirming God's ever-presence and omnipotence.

On Saturday afternoon my wife was cooking while a thunderstorm rumbled overhead. I was close to the electric cooker when my wife called and asked me to turn the pan off. As I approached the control, there was a crack like a pistol shot, and a huge spark passed between my elbow and the metal panhandle. This was followed by a terrific clap of thunder. The size of the spark indicated the power of the electrical charge, yet I was aware of nothing more than a slight tingling in my arm.
