Christian Science -- Fiction; People with disabilities -- Fiction
When Carolina met her eyes, she smiled. She had found peace.
"Now, dear child, I want to leave with you the ninety-first Psalm. Read
it with your new thought in mind, and you will realize that you never
have even apprehended it before. Remember, too, that you are not alone
any more. You are cradled in Divine Love, for God is both Mother and
Father to His children. ’The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath
are the everlasting arms!’"
Mrs. Goddard bent and kissed the girl, and Carolina, usually so
reserved, laid her flowerlike face against the older woman’s cheek in a
silence too deep for words.
"Remember, dear, to call on me by day or night exactly as if I were
Doctor Colfax, for I am your physician now. But deny your error as soon
as it makes its appearance and you won’t need to send for me. I will
come of my own accord every day and help you in your studies. Now I
must go. Rosemary and I love you already. Both Divine and human love
are pouring in upon you in such a manner that you shall not be able to
receive it. Good-bye and God bless you, my dear!"
CHAPTER IX.
THE TRIAL OF FAITH
To understand Carolina’s complete and instant acceptance of the
doctrines of Christian Science in addition to her healing, it is
necessary to take a more intimate view of her character.
A person of little or no understanding, or of little or no depth, would
naturally have accepted the boon of restored health, whether she ever
went any further in the doctrine or not. But Carolina was different.
To her the blessing was in a change of thought. Marvellous as she felt
her healing to be, her greatest gain was in the peace and happiness
which descended upon her like a garment.
