From the October 1952 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is with a heart full of gratitude that I testify to the healing power of Christian Science. I am deeply grateful to God, the Giver of all good, for the many blessings and healings I have received since taking up the study of Christian Science. I am grateful that through the study and application of Christian Science I am gaining a better understanding of the Christ, which Jesus, our Way-shower and Exemplar, demonstrated.

Several months ago I was involved in an automobile accident. My car was struck on the side where I was sitting at the wheel. The impact was so great that it hurled the car into the air and then turned it over, completely demolishing it. Upon regaining consciousness, I felt unable to breathe, but I kept clinging to the thought of the allness of God and man's relationship to Him. The pressure from the ribs against my left lung was most severe, but I affirmed as best I could that I was living in God and not in physicality.

When the police officer arrived and told me that he had called the ambulance which would take me to the hospital I refused the ambulance and asked to he taken home. He said that I was seriously injured and had broken bones, making it necessary for me to go to the hospital. I then told him that I was a Christian Scientist and that I desired to have help in Christian Science. He consented to my request, and my wife, who had been called on the telephone, came and took me home. A Christian Science practitioner was called and began working for me immediately.
