When our younger son was about ten years of age, he came in one day from a bicycle ride, suffering great pain from an injured leg. My thought went immediately to God, and I began to read to our son from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. For an hour or so we prayed, and together we realized that a spiritual idea could not possibly have anything happen to it. Soon the pain ceased, but the boy could not walk or straighten his leg; so a practitioner was called.
My husband was not a student of Christian Science at that time, and an X-ray picture was taken at his request. It showed that a piece of bone, about an inch long, had been broken in the boy's kneecap, and we were told he would probably be a cripple for the rest of his life.
This was reported to the practitioner. By the end of the second week, the leg was completely straightened out, and the boy had ceased to limp. A few weeks later, when we returned to the bone specialist to confer with him about his bill for the X ray, he noticed that the boy was not limping and asked me what had happened. I told him that Christian Science treatment had healed our son.
