Several weeks ago I was trampled upon by a frightened horse and severely injured. The horse struck me in the back, on my right side, and leg. It then dragged a delivery wagon over me. I rose and walked to a warehouse near by although I was suffering considerably. Without my knowledge the city ambulance was summoned and I was taken home. The physician in attendance wished to relieve my suffering, but I refused all medical aid and tried to declare Life all the way home. The doctor made an examination to see if there were any internal injuries or any bones broken. No bones were broken, but the fear of my heart's being affected was expressed. The physicians said it had ceased to act and my breathing seemed very hard and the pain intense.
However, my family were of good courage and realized the truth for me as clearly as they could. Help was sent for, the law of accident was broken, and the thought of a power separate from God was destroyed. After the first hour I felt no pain whatever, my breathing became natural, and I rested quietly.
The physician, who was dismissed immediately after I arrived home, said that his services would be needed again in three or four hours, as the condition of my heart would cause me to have another spell, or shock. This law was denied and Truth was the victor, for I never had another spell. I slept well all that night, but awoke in the morning sensible of stiffness. I was able to sit up but could not walk. By the third day, however, I was able to walk up stairs alone. I improved very rapidly and in six days was able to resume my work.
