It is over five years since I sought the aid of Christian Science for help from the effects of an accident. I had been under a physician's care for several months and to him I wish to give my meed of thanks. His fine Christian character helped me more than the medicine he gave me so sparingly, and when my husband told him I was going to try Science, he said, "Tell her to try it. I am sure it will do her good."

When our next little one was born I had Science instead of instruments, and was up and about the house the second day after the birth. Nor did I suffer from prostration as I had with my two older children.

One day in summer, two years ago, my oldest boy stood under a peach-tree heavily laden with large, ripe, luscious peaches. All the children on the farm had been given permission to take all they wished from this tree. Two other children were in the tree, when suddenly the large limb broke, striking the boy who stood directly under and felling him to the ground. I ran to him, dragging him out from beneath the limb and the other children, and realized that God was his life and that there were no accidents in divine Love. He seemed dazed for a moment, then looked up and smiled. "I am not hurt, mamma," he said, "I was just frightened a little." I held him on my lap and whispered the Scientific Statement of Being to him. There were many about us who were not Scientists. He nodded. "I know," he said, "and I am all right." In ten minutes he was playing with the other children with no trace of pallor on his cheek.
