Hand healed
Recently I was recording an audio program for The Mother Church. Walking back to my hotel, I suddenly found myself falling forward and stretched out on the pavement. I didn’t feel hurt, but when I stood up I discovered that the skin on the back of my hand had been scraped loose. I continued back to the hotel and telephoned a Christian Science practitioner for metaphysical help. She recommended that I call the Christian Science Benevolent Association in nearby Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, to have a Christian Science visiting nurse come to clean and bandage the area. The Christian Science nurse arrived within an hour, and shortly I was ready to return to The Mother Church for some important appointments that afternoon.
The next day the Christian Science nurse replaced the bandage. The third day I attended a meeting in Milwaukee. A Christian Science nurse there replaced the bandage, and the day after that the bandage was replaced by a Christian Science nurse in Minneapolis. After that point no bandaging was needed, and the healing took place quickly.
Throughout this entire procedure I was very grateful for the loving care of the Christian Science nurses and for their expertise in handling this comparatively minor need. I was aware that they were regarding the demand as really a need to see the non-fleshly nature of man and were depending on divine Mind to establish the immortal facts of my true spiritual being which had never been lacerated by an abrasive pavement.
