Christian Science was presented...
Christian Science was presented to me in answer to my sincere desire to gain an understanding of God. I have never ceased being grateful for those first truths which were pointed out to me in the Bible and Science and Health, and that I was ready to use them. I have had many proofs of God's protecting care, and I should like to express gratitude for the unfoldment of a scientific truth which was expressed to me in a time of need.
I had gone to a city about two hundred miles from home to attend a summer term at a state normal school, and was among strangers. Before enrolling I fainted and fell, causing a spinal injury. I did not realize the seriousness of the injury until evening. Fearful of not being able to attend school. I asked my landlady, who was a more advanced student of Christian Science, to help me. She said to me. "God's child could not fall." I did not understand that statement, but I had asked her for help and accepted it as the truth. I retired for the night, realizing truths from the Bible and Science and Health which I did understand.
By morning the fear was gone, and although I suffered considerably for several days I was able to attend classes and go about with joy and gratitude. In about two months I was completely and permanently healed.
