About three months ago a proof of God's power was given us in a case of accident.
While on the way to the train Wednesday morning a member of our family slipped on the ice. In trying to save himself, he fell heavily on the palms of both hands. Being a heavy man, the concussion was very great. After reaching the train the pain was so intense that consciousness was lost for a moment. Repeating the Scientific Statement of Being over and over it enabled him to reach the store, a distance of ten miles, without again losing consciousness. He then telegraphed for help. The left arm and hand became stiff and painful. The telegram was received at nine o'clock, and the pain ceased at once and he was able to keep at his work all day. Owing to stiffness undressing was accomplished with difficulty.
The arm was very badly swollen. One bone at the elbow was broken and protruded sharply. In bed the weight of the arm was so painful that a small pillow was placed under it. For fifteen minutes one chill followed another, and fear ran high, prayers were quietly said, and fear departed; peaceful sleep all night followed. In the morning he could dress himself and bend his arm. There was no more soreness, and the swelling was gone. That night he had almost perfect control of the arm, using it with freedom.
