In loving gratitude for what Christian Science has done for our son I wish to give this testimony. In 1929, when he was twenty years of age, he was in a car which collided with another automobile. Our son was violently thrown through the door into the air, landing with full force on an iron manhole. After a thorough examination at the hospital it was found that his neck was broken, and the case was pronounced hopeless. Later we were told that the fourth and fifth cervical vertebræ nerve centers were broken and the body paralyzed from the neck down.

The nurses were warned by the physicians not to move the boy the slightest bit, as it would mean instant death, for the bone was splintered and there was danger that the sharp broken points might pierce the spinal cord. The verdict was that he would pass on the second day, should he last even that long; and the specialists found it impossible to place him in the usual form of cast.

Christian Science work was taken up from the first, and the faithful practitioner steadfastly maintained that this demonstration could and would be made and the boy restored completely—not badly crippled as the doctors said would certainly be the case if he should recover.
