In divine Science man is unfallen and upright

Clermont Dickson Morris with contributions from Huber R. Morris

In divine Science man is unfallen and upright. With the help of a practitioner, I learned to recognize this spiritual truth, and to know that man is never separated from God.

As I was coming down a hill, my foot caught in the hem of my dress. I was thrown about eight feet, face forward, into a cement ditch. When I became conscious I found that I had been carried into the office where I was employed, and heard my friends asking if a doctor had been called. I shall always be grateful for three alert students of Christian Science. One immediately called a practitioner, who took up the work for me. My husband, who had been notified of the accident, came at once, and an ambulance had already been called to take me home. Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the practitioner, who was at the house when we arrived. Through his right thinking and radical reliance on God, many fearful suggestions were dispelled. My face was cut, two teeth had been knocked out and others loosened; there was a fracture of my right wrist, a double fracture of my left wrist, a sprained left foot, and a badly cut right knee.

On page 283 of Science and Health, by our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, are these words: "Mind is the source of all movement, and there is no inertia to retard or check its perpetual and harmonious action." She also states (ibid.,
p. 151), "Every function of the real man is governed by the divine Mind." By clinging steadfastly to these and other truths, I was able to realize that man, God's idea, had never been in an accident, and with the help of the practitioner, I was back at my place of duty in two weeks.
