Several years ago I was healed of the effects of a fall down a flight of stairs. My husband heard my call for help and came to my aid. I asked him to call a Christian Science practitioner for treatment.

The picture looked serious. There was evidence of a broken rib, a broken bone in my foot, and there were cuts on my forehead and wrist. But I had learned in fifty years of radical reliance on Christian Science to take Mrs. Eddy's advice, "Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality" (Science and Health, p. 261). I was confined to bed for several days and then was able to sit up in a chair. A statement that inspired me during this period of healing reads (ibid., p. 258): "Never born and never dying, it were impossible for man, under the government of God in eternal Science, to fall from his high estate." Within three weeks the healing was complete and I was able to drive my car again.

I am grateful to the practitioner who worked faithfully for me, and to my family who patiently attended to my needs.
