It is with great gratitude that I write of the efficacy of Christian Science in the healing of broken bones. Although the study and application of this Science have met and healed many discordant conditions all through my life, I am especially grateful for its ability to heal broken bones quickly and efficiently.
One summer while I was attending a boy scout camp, I fell, breaking and dislocating my wrist. My parents were visiting camp at the time and took me home. On the hour-long ride home, both my parents and I recalled many of the truths I had learned as a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School. Upon arriving home, late at night, my parents called a Christian Science practitioner. Through her prayerful work and that of my family I was back at camp in three days, bugling for the dedication of a neighboring scout camp. In one week's time I was again using my hand. That fall I was able to play a season of football.
A couple of years later during the football season, my ankle was sprained on a Friday. The next morning when I attempted to get up, my leg crumpled under me. With the help of my family and my own prayers I was out at football practice the next Monday.
