In loving gratitude to God, I wish to tell what Christian Science has done for me. Some months ago, while I was standing on the extreme edge of the sidewalk, I leaned too far forward and lost my balance. To save myself from falling, I put one foot down on the street, when instantly a heavy vehicle passed over my foot. The vehicle stopped when one wheel was directly on the toes, and a lady turned around and asked if I was hurt, to which I replied by asking her to drive on and free my foot. It seemed, to sense, as though my toes were literally crushed, but I declared the truth as I understood it, denying all power but God's power. All the evening I was on my feet, and when I retired I saw that the toes were badly bruised, according to mortal sense. I worked till late at night, but slept soundly after I did get to sleep. The next day we went to the beach and I was on my feet all day long, and three days from the time I was hurt my toes were entirely well. I have also been wonderfully helped in other ways, and while I still have much to overcome, my daily prayer is that I may know the truth that makes free. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy.
