One night a few months ago, while skating, I fell on my nose, which was broken and badly cut. I was stunned from the fall, but after declaring the truth was able to stand up. The blood on my face I supposed was caused by an ordinary nosebleed; and when the bleeding stopped I felt perfectly normal and continued skating. As soon, however, as my friends saw my face in the light, they were very much frightened, and advised me to go to a doctor at once to have the bone set and stitches taken in the cut. Not until my attention was called to it in this way did I know there was a gash in which I could lay my finger, and that the bone protruded on the opposite side. On my way home I called upon a Christian Science practitioner for help. Feeling secure in the protection of divine Love I went to sleep; and was able to go to work in the morning as usual. In fact, I suffered no pain whatever at any time; and in less than three weeks the cut was healed and the bone had gone into place. From the beginning the incident had no reality to me; and it was only after repeated expressions of sympathy and amazement from my friends that I was impressed with the enormity of the so-called material law which had been broken through the application and demonstration of Christian Science.

This is but one of the many instances in which the slight understanding which I have of Truth has saved me from the results of some mortal mind belief of which I knew nothing until later. Each day I am more grateful to Mrs. Eddy, who has made it possible for each of us to understand the healing truth. I am especially grateful for the privilege of class instruction; and fervently hope my life may attest the sincerity of my words.—(Miss) Marion J. Morris, Bradford, Pa.
