The instantaneous healing of an apparently broken bone was related in a testimony that I heard given by a young father recently. Now, ordinarily it isn't such a good idea to tell about someone else's testimony—it's better to give your own. But in this case I can vouch for the testifier, since I have known him for some years and respect his honesty and integrity, and I had the opportunity of seeing his young son who experienced the healing. I can testify myself that the boy was completely healed.
It had happened the evening before the testimony was given. The father had just walked in the door of his home and was greeted by his wife with their two year-old boy in her arms. She told him that the child had fallen on a flight of stairs and apparently had broken his thumb. The appearance indicated a break, and the boy was in pain.
The father had just been talking to his teacher in Christian Science about the importance of joy in the practice of what we understand of Christian Science. He called him at once and heard the teacher's voice ring out with the joy of the spiritual assurance that all was well; that the child was in actuality God's own child, at one with Him through all eternity; and that all eternity was right now, not some time far off in the future. The teacher went on to say that they could be so glad and grateful that the child's oneness with his heavenly Father as God's idea was the spiritual reason why nothing in his true selfhood could ever be broken or out of place in any way.
