RADIO PROGRAM No. 388 - Relying on God in Emergencies

Bella Brown

SPEAKER: Sometimes people find it difficult to understand why a Christian Scientist turns to God alone in time of accident. We'd like to answer that question on this program today. Miss Bella Brown, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, has kindly agreed to tell her own experience to help us explain our viewpoint.

MISS BROWN: I was going along one of the busy highways in New Jersey. This was in March, 1952. It was early evening, and I was on my way to my brother's home to spend the weekend. A large trailer truck ran full speed into my car, and I was thrown out the door and onto the highway and landed about forty feet away.

I regained consciousness while still lying on the road and immediately turned to God for my help. I began to use the spiritual truths I'd learned through years of study of Christian Science. In the ambulance I just held to the fact that God is Spirit and that man is His image and likeness, spiritual and not material. Through this understanding of God as all-powerful and ever present, I could see there was no reason for fear, and I experienced no pain.
