My husband, our four sons, and I have received many healings and blessings through Christian Science. A few years ago, I suddenly felt impelled to work for a son in Canada. A fortnight later, I heard that just then he had been in great danger, having fallen asleep in the snow, but in two hours he had awakened unharmed. Another son was thrown from a horse and trampled upon, but was completely healed in a fortnight. Innumerable other healings include a more recent one for myself.
Just before Christmas, 1938, I slipped on the ice in front of the house. On trying to walk I suffered intense pain. My husband helped me upstairs to a couch, on which I remained for nearly a month.
We telephoned to a Christian Science practitioner, unknown personally to us, and he immediately began treatment. However, a doctor's examination seemed wise. The latter said that the femur was cracked and out of its socket; and he was afraid that the thigh was twisted and the pelvis injured. He wished me to have an X ray, and said that he would like to have me in a hospital and probably in plaster for some weeks. I told him I was having Christian Science help, and next morning we decided to trust in this entirely. The doctor repeated the warning that if I were not properly treated I should be permanently lame.
