At dusk one evening, an excited group...

From the January 1966 issue of The Christian Science Journal


At dusk one evening, an excited group of teen-age boys came to inform me that our son had fallen and thought he had a broken hip. As I hastened to the lad, the passage from Isaiah (26:3), "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee," was foremost in my thought.

I found the boy unable to move or be moved. Turning to our heavenly Father for guidance, I asked the group of children that had gathered to disperse, and as they did so I knew that nothing could interfere with the harmony of God's perfect child.

I lay down upon the grass and repeated simple truths he had been taught in Sunday School: "God is All-in-all. Perfect God and perfect man. God is up and down and all around. God, good, guides, guards, and governs. God is all-power. All is well!"
