At the end of July, 1928, I was motoring through Denmark, and while calling on a friend I fell headlong on a pile of loose stones, landing on my right elbow. On getting up I found my arm was quite useless. I yielded reluctantly to the entreaties of a member of my family and went to a hospital, where an X-ray photograph revealed a bad break at the elbow. The surgeon said that I must return to London at once, and that an operation would be necessary, but that even after that I should probably never be able to get my hand to my head or to turn my hand freely. A telegram was sent to a London practitioner. As a result of treatments, I was subsequently almost without pain, and the journey of two days and a night was experienced without discomfort. Again, to please a member of my family, I saw a surgeon, who advised an immediate operation. I demurred, and he at once said, "I will let you have six days to see what you can do." It was a curious remark, because he knew nothing of my interest in Christian Science. When I again saw him I unconsciously raised my hand to my head and he said, "The work is done;" and in five minutes I was in my car, where the practitioner was awaiting me. From the beginning, progress was uninterrupted, and in three weeks I was writing and using my arm freely.
This experience, with many others, gives me cause for a gratitude so profound that it can be expressed only by a constant effort to spread the glad tidings that, through Mrs. Eddy's revelation of the Christ-power as applicable to all ages, healing and peace and joy are obtainable here and now, just as they were when our Saviour, Christ Jesus, walked the earth and begged all those who labored or were heavy-laden to come unto him.— London, England.
