It is now many years since I asked a friend, "What is Christian Science?" The answer given completely satisfied me, and subsequent study proved that I had at last found the logical explanation of God and the universe. At first the daily reading of the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly proved most irksome, but step by step, as I became more enlightened, I found I could not afford to go a day without reading at least one section, and the reading of the whole Lesson soon became a great joy.

I wish to express my gratitude for a very practical proof of protection and healing which I received over three years ago as a direct result of my study of the Bible Lesson.

I went down to the country for the day by coach, and was met at a certain point by a niece in a car. As we were traveling along a wide main road, a car shot from a narrow lane without any kind of warning, reducing our car to an utter wreck. The first thing I was conscious of was that I was scrambling out of a deep ditch, where I had been flung backwards doubled up, and was declaring, "God knows no accidents, so all is well." My niece appeared with torn clothing but hardly a scratch. By this time I was conscious of a deep and severe pain, and as soon as possible was taken by a passing lorry to my sister's house. I still held to my first declaration, and was able to sit down to luncheon.
