Because I have gained much from reading the testimonies, I wish to add my share. I enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School at the age of six. Since then I have proved the truth of Christian Science many times.

Some time ago, my brother accidentally shot himself in the forehead. I heard the shot and the fall and at once declared "the scientific statement of being," as given on page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. In a few minutes the boy regained consciousness and said, "I am all right." The wound was washed with clean water and Christian Science treatment was continued. Neighbors expressed alarm and predicted blood poisoning, but in three days the boy was able to go about his work and play. Today there is no scar.

At another time a car traveling at the rate of sixty miles an hour ran into the car I was driving. "Under divine Providence there can be no accidents, since there is no room for imperfection in perfection" (ibid., p. 424). This truth was declared while the oncoming car was approaching. No one was hurt. The only damage to the car was a slightly bent axle and a punctured tire.
