In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy...
In Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says (p. 402), "Man is indestructible and eternal," and she continues farther on: "In Science, no breakage nor dislocation can really occur. You say that accidents, injuries, and disease kill man, but this is not true. The life of man is Mind." I had an opportunity to prove these statements.
One Saturday evening in 1943, during the time I was serving as First Reader in a branch church, I was driving on a highway and was hit by an electric interurban freight engine, which was crossing the highway at this point. Instinctively and audibly I declared. "Nothing can take the life of man." I was rendered unconscious by the blow, but only for seconds. I had been going about twenty-five miles an hour, and the engineer thought his speed was about the same. My car was pushed back up the track about fifty feet.
A driver of one of the motor cars waiting for the intersection clearance came running to the door of my car, and just as he started to take hold of the door handle I opened the door from the inside and stepped out. He was amazed that I was still alive. He urged me to allow him to take me to a hospital, for I was bleeding from what appeared to be an injured lung, and he did not understand the help upon which I was depending, namely Christian Science.
