With a sincere desire to help some earnest seeker for Truth, I should like to tell of some of the innumerable blessings that my family and I have experienced through Christian Science.
Nearly seven years ago my father, while standing in the front yard talking with a neighbor, was struck by a stray bullet which came from across the street. It pierced the top of the shoe on his left foot, and traveled through the bottom of the foot, lodging about an inch and a half from the end of the heel. As soon as the neighbor discovered what had occurred, he wanted to telephone for an ambulance to take my father to a hospital and have the bullet removed. My father objected to this, however, and told the gentleman that he was interested in Christian Science and would telephone to a practitioner for help. The practitioner lovingly worked for him, and we relied entirely on God. The bullet worked out exactly three weeks after it entered the foot. This was certainly a proof of what reliance on Truth could do.
At one time, when I was a child, I was stricken with typhoid fever. One night, when I was very ill, a practitioner was called and remained with me through the night, as my mother had become fearful. The practitioner worked for my mother as much as she did for me, and asked her if she would not leave me with God. She persuaded her to retire, and the next morning my mother admitted to the practitioner that she had slept soundly that night, and also that she had found me healed. Thus it was proved that when fear was conquered the healing took place.
