Because I have been so amply...

Robert W. Emerson

Because I have been so amply protected, guided, and blessed by God through Christian Science, I wish to express my gratitude for God's care and love.

I have had Christian Science all my life, but only recently have I begun to realize the protection and guidance I have never failed to receive under any circumstance. With the realization that man as the image and likeness of the divine Principle, God, can express only good and perfection as taught by the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, have come many instantaneous healings of physical disorders.

When I was attending secondary school, I fell while executing a stunt on the horizontal rings of a city playground and broke bones in both arms. My home was notified, and work was taken up immediately by a Christian Science practitioner. I was taken to an emergency hospital, where the bones were set and the arms placed in splints. It was stated that these were exceptionally bad breaks and might not heal properly, but I knew that Christian Science never fails when properly applied. Medical science also claimed that I would not be able to use my arms or hands for six to eight weeks while they were in plaster casts and that X-ray pictures would he the only proof of proper settings. These human steps were taken a few days later, but the evening of the fall I attended a motion picture with one of my brothers and enjoyed it immensely. On the morning of the third day all pain ceased, and I found myself using my hands in opening doors and in other ways. I knew that my freedom had been gained mentally and that the fears connected with the difficulty had been overcome. In two weeks I was chinning myself on a back-yard trapeze, and in three weeks the doctor was convinced the casts could come off. In the words of our Leader (Science and Health, p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
