Of the many healings I have had through Christian Science the following have been to me perhaps the most convincing.

The first was a case of mental surgery. The pad of my thumb was torn by an electric saw. My first reaction was to run from the building, but I stopped and said, "No! this is a job for Christian Science." Although I was firm in my determination to rely wholly on Christian Science, the condition of the thumb had so deteriorated after five days that it was evident that something would have to be done quickly.

Late in the afternoon I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner, to whom I was a complete stranger, and asked for help. The next morning when I uncovered the hand to wash, I found that a wonderful transformation had taken place. Color and sensation had returned to the tip of the thumb, and new tissue had formed into a neat, clean cut, which had begun to close. I was so delighted to see this that I took a pen and used the thumb in writing a letter of thanks to the practitioner. In a few weeks I had full use of the thumb, even for pressing in drawing pins.
