Ada Quincy Karcher

Christian Science has been my joy and comfort for some years. It has healed me of grief and enabled me to be of help to others. That I am here today and active I owe to this Science. My husband, who was a physician, fully acknowledged its efficacy and permitted no one to criticize Christian Science.

One winter's morning I started forth on icy roads to keep an appointment and do an errand in a near-by town. On the way an accident occurred, and I was taken to the town where I was going by an automobile salesman, whom I knew. He told me I had been in an accident, and had been hurt. A doctor had said I should be taken to a hospital. I asked him just to take me home, saying I would call a Christian Science practitioner. I tried to think of one near by, but without success. However, I knew that "divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, p. 494).

When we reached my house I found loving friends ready to be of service. The man who brought me home telephoned to a mutual friend, who is a Scientist. At the friend's home were a practitioner and his wife. The practitioner came to my home, and half an hour after his arrival I arose and had lunch. Not once did I feel an ache or a pain, although before Christian Science treatment was given I had had a chill. The next day I attended our Red Cross group and that Wednesday evening conducted the church service.
