I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity of writing to our periodicals of a beautiful healing that came into our family about seven years ago through Christian Science.

As my husband, my granddaughter, and I were returning from a drive one Sunday afternoon, we were struck by another car. Our car turned completely over, with the result that both my husband and I were knocked unconscious. The child fainted but was not seriously hurt, so was cared for by a kind neighbor. My husband and I were taken to a hospital, where X-ray photographs were taken revealing serious fractures.

A neighbor who knew of our interest in Christian Science called a practitioner, who came at once to the hospital. I was still unconscious, but it was not long before I could hear the practitioner calling to me and I soon regained consciousness. From then on I made rapid progress. My husband's back was injured, the spine was cracked and the small vertebrae were torn loose. The physician said he should be put in a cast and that he would not be around again for a year. We took no material remedies, resorted to no casts, but relied wholly upon Christian Science for our help. We left the hospital the third day and suffered no bad results from so doing, though we were warned that we were taking our lives into our own hands.
