SYLVIA M. V. BUNT with contributions from JANE S. BUNT

Several years ago, our family, including my husband's parents, were on a holiday in Devon. One evening our two daughters decided to race each other back to the caravan. Taking a short cut, the younger tripped over a wire and fell several feet. My husband was the first to reach the little girl, and he rebuked her sharply for the loud yell she had given when falling. When I reached them, the child was very distressed, and I was deeply upset over my husband's unjust reaction.

I carried our daughter into the caravan and started to bathe her wounds. The condition of her little face was most alarming. Her forehead had been badly grazed, and two front teeth protruded through the upper lip. She told me her right arm felt strange, and I found it hanging limply. It was obviously broken.

In view of the laws of England, it seemed necessary to take the child to a doctor or hospital for attention. The girls and I were the only students of Christian Science in our family. And I felt if I requested to ring a Christian Science practitioner for help, my husband and his parents would be quite fearful.
