It is my heartfelt desire to tell about a healing through Christian Science that may be helpful to people, especially in my age group (over eighty). At the beginning of this year, when attempting to cross an icy street, I slipped and fell. In getting up, I felt a severe pain. I immediately realized that God knows no accidents, and I was able to return to my home. My family, who were very lovingly concerned about me, called a doctor, who arranged for my transportation to a clinic. There the diagnosis was a fracture of the neck of the upper thighbone. I was supposed to be taken to a hospital. However, as I have more faith in God than in any human help whatsoever, I requested that I be brought home again immediately. Through a dear friend I asked a Christian Science practitioner, with whom I am acquainted, for his support. Treatment through prayer was given at once and throughout the experience.

I fully trusted in the help of our heavenly Father, who is always ready to aid us, and who has already helped me countless times during my life. In the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy writes (p. 373) : "Establish the scientific sense of health, and you relieve the oppressed organ." This passage, as well as similar ones in the textbook, gave me so much strength and confidence that fearful mortal thinking did not find an entrance into my consciousness. Together with my dear neighbor, I read the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly, and Christian Science literature, daily.

Within a few weeks, through the prayerful treatment of the practitioner and the loving care on the part of my family, I was able to have another X ray taken, which revealed that the bone was properly set and knitting. During all this time I experienced neither pain nor discomfort of any kind, and I was soon able to walk freely and take care of my duties.
