With deep thankfulness to God I submit this testimony in the hope that it will bring help and comfort to others. I am very grateful for what Christian Science has meant and is meaning to me.
One healing that stands out occurred after I stumbled and fell, breaking the bone in my left arm in two places, at the elbow and just above the elbow. When I was a child of seven I had fallen and had had several operations on the same arm, which included the removal of a large piece of the bone; in fact, the doctors in Scotland gave very little hope of saving the arm. After the second fall, the arm was in such a condition that I was advised to go to a hospital and have several X-ray pictures taken before the doctors decided what to do for me. The pictures showed that the bone had become separated about two inches. The doctors set it in plaster casts three times in three weeks, and a member of my family was told that I should never play golf again. As teaching golf was my profession, I was naturally upset. Then I took my stand for Truth. I refused absolutely to believe the lie that Mind or its idea could be broken, and with the help of a practitioner I was using the arm and playing golf in less than three months' time.
While I am very grateful for all the kindness and love shown to me by the doctors who helped me, words cannot convey what Christian Science means to me. There is still a great deal of remodeling of my character to be done, but this one thing I do know, that I am on the right road. I should like to take this opportunity to thank the practitioners and friends who were so very patient with me all through this trying experience.
