When I was fourteen years old, my two younger brothers had to be quarantined with scarlet fever. The authorities whom my parents called, as the law requires us to do in such cases, said that I would have the disease too. However, I had learned in the Christian Science Sunday School that disease is not real. I helped my mother nurse the boys and was in constant contact with them, knowing all the time that God never made sickness and that I did not have to be sick. God protected me from catching the disease.

Some time ago I was asked to go for a boat ride with a friend, and as a result of falling from a high dock into the boat, I experienced a seriously injured foot. I was unable to use the foot when I tried to stand up, and I had to be assisted out of the boat. When my friend wanted to take me directly to a hospital, I asked to be taken home instead.

Upon arrival there, I asked my husband to call a practitioner, who immediately gave me loving assistance in Christian Science. At once I began to feel more calm, and within thirty minutes the pain subsided. In a few hours I felt an adjustment take place in the foot without the slightest pain. However, the instep was apparently injured, for the foot rested flat on the floor. The practitioner and I agreed that we must stand fast with Love, and each day showed definite progress and healing.
