I am unceasingly grateful for the many benefits which our family has received through the study of Christian Science, as well as for the good which is being done all over the world by the application of this truth.

About seven years ago our three-year-old daughter fell from the back seat of the car to the street while I was driving. Those standing on the corner who saw it happen said that the car ran over her leg and that it must be broken. We enlisted the help of a practitioner and claimed the truth that man remains forever unchanged in God's kingdom, that God not only created man perfect but maintains His creation forever perfect and harmonious.

I shall always be grateful for the clearness with which the realization came to me that it was up to me to see to it that our child was not subjected to the imposition of pain and difficulty merely through meaningless fear on my part. I knew that I must resist this suggestion, so unlike God, good, as Mrs. Eddy tells us we must in these words (Science and Health, p. 393): "Rise in the strength of Spirit to resist all that is unlike good."
