From the October 1973 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The healing power of Love played such an important part in the regeneration of our teen-age son several years ago that I feel I must share this experience.

There had been a number of unhappy experiences during his senior year in high school, one of which led to his running away from home for eight days, leaving no trace of his whereabouts. He was rebellious against rules and moral standards set down in our home, against many of the teachings of Christian Science he had been taught as a child, and he felt he should have the freedom to do exactly as he pleased.

We diligently tried to solve these problems through the application of Christian Science, and some progress was made. But his idea that he should be free to do as he pleased continued on into his first year of college out of our state. While in college, he became interested in smoking and drinking with the college group he had chosen to associate with.
