ALBERTA MICHAEL BRUSHABER

Over two years ago I was exposed to a carbon monoxide leak which had gone undetected in a trailer home. In a short time I collapsed and became unconscious. When the situation was discovered, an ambulance was called by the police, and I was taken to a hospital. My family told the hospital staff that I was a Christian Scientist and would not wish medical treatment. The staff was not willing to release me, but in less than two days I was able to sign myself out and was taken home.

During two nights I suffered severe chest pains. My sister sat by my bed declaring spiritual truths until I was relieved. The next day we decided to call a friend, a Christian Science practitioner who lived in another state. She reminded us of Christ Jesus' words (Mark 16:17, 18), "And these signs shall follow them that believe; ... if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them." To us this meant also that if they breathe "any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them." After I'd thought about this truth, the pain did not return.

These words from "the scientific statement of being" in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy became very important to me (p. 468): "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." I could understand clearly that the infinite manifestation of infinite Mind was my real, spiritual selfhood. Through my affirming such potent truths, all effects of the carbon monoxide poisoning were dispelled within two or three weeks.
