My continued gratitude for the healing of the effects of an accident experienced over two years ago prompts me to give this testimony.
In my early teens I began to attend a Christian Science Sunday School, and as I grew older I endeavored to make progress in the understanding of Christian Science. Growth, demonstration of position, reward for right endeavors, and gaining of financial means were slow, and these problems still awaited solution when there came an imperative call for reliance on this Science in regard to physical well-being.
One evening as I was crossing the street in a downtown section of the city, I was struck by a car, dragged beneath it for about sixty feet, and then dropped. A bystander, seeing my condition, put me in his car and took me to the hospital close by. As soon as my name was learned, my mother, aunt, and uncle were notified. Upon their arrival at the hospital, they were told that my condition was very serious. During the next few days word went out from the hospital several times that I was passing on, but this was emphatically and unremittingly denied by the practitioner who had been called by my family the moment they heard of the accident. Eleven days later I left the hospital, and within two weeks and a half from the time of the accident I was again able to walk downtown. Every erroneous suggestion of fractured skull, split eardrum, broken and fractured ribs, disfiguring wounds on my face, and many other discordant bodily conditions had been overcome harmoniously. Predicted conditions, such as hemorrhages due to lacerations of the lung by the broken ribs, never resulted.
