Because of my hungering for a way of life that I could not find in the orthodox church of which I was a member, I turned to Christian Science. A physical healing followed my reading the chapter on Prayer in the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.

When leaving my home in the early hours of the morning one day I reminded myself of the truths that I had been learning in Christian Science. After picking up a passenger who was to ride to work with me, I continued silently to know the truth. As I approached a railroad crossing, the tracks appeared to be clear, but as I was about to cross them I suddenly heard loud shouting. To my astonishment I saw a freight train approaching. It was impossible to stop in time to avoid a collision, and to speed up afforded no prospect of beating the train to the crossing.

Split-second thinking was required, and I veered to the left, the same direction in which the freight train was moving. My car was sideswiped and dragged about forty feet. The other passenger and I were unharmed. The police asked me to get a wrecker so that my car could be moved, but to the astonishment of the crowd that had collected I started my motor and was able to drive to my destination some thirty miles away.
