In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy says (p. 495): "When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought."

I am very grateful for a healing that I had several years ago. My family and I got off a bus and started to cross the street, not realizing that there was a car coming from the back of the bus. I was hit by the car and thrown quite a distance. When the police, an ambulance, and a doctor arrived, the police and the doctor wanted to rush me to a hospital, but my family, who had already requested help of a Christian Science practitioner, would not let me be taken. My mother, speaking privately to one of the officers, told him that we were Christian Scientists, and he said that he would not interfere with our religion. We were finally taken home in a police car.

The next morning the practitioner telephoned that I should not be afraid, for everything was going to be all right. I immediately answered, "I am not afraid, and I expect quick results." It was not until later that I realized the extent of my injuries. My forehead, jaw, and one eye were badly bruised; one arm was useless, and both legs had been injured. The practitioner came that afternoon and spent quite some time with me. By the second day I had made so much progress that I was up and dressed for breakfast and remained up all day. By the fifth day, I returned to work.
