"Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3)
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Ex. 20:3). This is, of course, the first commandment. I decided it was time to listen, and obey it, when I fell and had to be carried to the house of some friends. They knew I was a student of Christian Science, and so instead of calling an ambulance they took me to their home.
I am very grateful for "the scientific statement of being," as it did sustain me all night. One sentence reads (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 468): "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." The whole statement shows us we are not corporeal mortals, to be injured or to suffer.
I asked a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me, and after having treatment for five days, I decided to have an X ray, as I still could not walk. My friends took me to their doctor, who took X rays. And a specialist said they would have to put a pin in my hip, which he said was badly broken. Both doctors were surprised I had been in no pain. I told them I would have to go home and make my own decision. (I wanted to pray further and listen for God's answer.)
