My mother took up the study of Christian Science when I was a young boy. She had been in frail health for years, and an unsuccessful operation had left her deeply discouraged. She was afraid she would not live until my brother and I were grown. Shortly after she started to read Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, her physical condition and outlook began to improve, and she enjoyed an active life into her eighties.
One morning many years ago while I was on my way to the office with a friend, an automobile ran over my foot. Those who came to my aid wanted to call an ambulance, but I refused to let them although the pain was intense. With the help of my friend I managed to board a streetcar and continue on to the office.
When I hobbled into the office, my associates urged me to see a doctor immediately, I assured them that I would be all right, even though I had to be on my feet all day. Later in the morning a witness to the accident came into the office and was amazed to see me at work.
