Excerpts from Letters Concerning Christian Science Wartime Activities

[From the Secretary of a State Christian Science Camp Welfare Committee]

The mother of a serviceman called one morning saying her son had telephoned from a New York hospital. He had been wounded and was in a cast. A few days later he was transferred to a hospital in Virginia, and I was asked to take up the work for him. Instantly the thought came, How could man, the glory of God, be in a cast! How could the son of God, the son of the most High, be bound by some plaster! The utter ridiculousness of the claim was seen, and then the law of God was acknowledged to be present and in full and perfect operation.

A few days later I had a call from the private telling me that he was home on leave. He came to see me and told me of his healing. During combat in Europe a bullet shattered the bone of his leg and cut some muscles. The first day in the hospital, after Christian Science treatment, the cast was taken off. He stood up beside the bed. The other boys said, "Don't do that; you are foolish." But he laughed, and knew on what he was leaning—not on a leg but on the law of God, the law that held him eternally perfect in the Father's sight.
