One day while I was at school, I fell down and hurt my head

One day while I was at school, I fell down and hurt my head. When I got home I didn't feel well. Two friends were at my house playing, so I let them play while I went to my room to quietly pray by myself.

I told my mom I didn't feel well. She prayed for me, and when my dad came home, he prayed for me too. They helped me understand the sixth tenet of Christian Science, which I had memorized from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy [see p. 497].

We called a Christian Science practitioner for help. She asked me to think about the words in Mrs. Eddy's poem "The Mother's Evening Prayer" [see Poems, pp. 4-5].
