The true sense of joy expressed...
The true sense of joy expressed by a Christian Scientist attracted me to her. This young woman, who afterward became my wife, encouraged me to read the Christian Science literature and helped me to understand something of the teachings of Science.
Then one evening I experienced an injury and decided to see for myself if this law of Truth, about which I was learning, was practical and would work for me. While employed on a railroad I fell from a boxcar and badly sprained an ankle. Earlier accidents of this nature usually necessitated my losing at least a day's work.
When I arrived home my parents repeatedly suggested that I have medical help, but I rejected these suggestions and read for about an hour "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. The pain subsided somewhat, and I retired When I awakened the following morning there was no swelling or discoloration, and I was quite free. My joy was great, for I realized then that Christian Science is truly a demonstrable religion.
