Words can never tell how...

Betty J. Tarkington with contributions from Robert J. Tarkington

Words can never tell how grateful I am for having known no religion other than Christian Science all my life. As a child I attended a Christian Science Sunday School and later joined The Mother Church and also branch churches wherever I lived. Although my husband was not a Scientist when we were married, he was interested and attended church with me. I am grateful that he too is now a member of The Mother Church and a branch church and that our children are being reared in the Sunday School.

We have had many wonderful proofs of the healing power of God, one of which I should like to tell. One of our boys had asked for, and was given, a ride on an ice-cream truck. The boy decided to jump from the truck before it had stopped completely, and in doing so fell on his head and lost consciousness. Before I was notified, the police, fire department, and an ambulance had been called, and although I tried to take him to our home nearby, the police refused to let me. However, before he was taken to a hospital, a practitioner was called, and prayerful work was begun immediately to realize his true selfhood as the perfect spiritual child of God, never separated from his true Father-Mother.
