About two years ago, I experienced a beautiful healing of a broken wrist, caused by a fall on an icy walk. I tried to know that my real self was not hurt, and that no breakage could occur in divine Mind. The arm was paining me intensely; and, although I repeated over and over "the scientific statement of being," from page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the pain did not seem to abate. I realize now that I allowed fear to creep in, as I made my way to a physician's office. He examined the wrist, but was unable to tell whether it was a sprain or a break. He, however, bandaged it, and asked me to report at a hospital the next morning to have an X-ray picture taken, adding that if it were broken he would then set it. I mentally declared there was nothing for him to set or adjust, and that God's law of adjustment alone was operative. Upon reaching home, I called a Christian Science practitioner by telephone and asked for help. She lovingly assured me that there was nothing to fear, and that all would be taken care of. The X-ray examination disclosed a double fracture and a perfect adjustment. The doctor seemed surprised, but nevertheless pleased. I also wish to say that I was able to attend to my household and office duties. I was able to do everything except comb my hair. I often had to know that "with God all things are possible;" and this thought always enabled me to do that which I had tried to do. All the difficulty was finally overcome.

Christian Science has been a wonderful help to me; and I am deeply grateful for the many, many blessings which have come to me through its activities, among them being the privilege of class instruction. My heart goes out in gratitude to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for her selfless love and untiring efforts in presenting this wonderful truth to the world; and my earnest desire is that I may live this truth in every thought and word and deed.
