When I was a young girl, my father was healed instantaneously of a severe case of stomach ulcers in one visit to a Christian Science practitioner. Since then many healings and blessings have come to me and mine as a result of Christian Science.

On a Wednesday evening, as I was crossing the street, a car struck me, and I was knocked unconscious to the pavement. I regained consciousness as someone lifted my head, and I heard, "There are no accidents in God's kingdom." I knew it was the voice of a fellow church member; several of my friends stood around me. The police arrived with an ambulance, and I was then rushed to the emergency room at a hospital. I am grateful that some of my friends followed and stayed with me while X rays were taken. I asked one of the friends to telephone a Christian Science practitioner.

The doctor in attendance, after examining the pictures, said, "Your left leg is broken between the knee and ankle." He was much more concerned about a deep flesh wound on the right leg. He said that it would take a long time to heal, six months at least, and advised that I stay at the hospital to be under observation and to be given drugs to prevent poisoning. I told him that I was a Christian Scientist and did not take drugs and that I preferred not to stay in the hospital. He bandaged the wound. He did not set the broken bone or put a cast on my leg. Then he allowed me to be taken to a nursing home for Christian Scientists. The practitioner continued to give me treatment, and within two weeks I was up and walking in the halls. In a short time I was able to return to my normal activities.
