It’s a great privilege, when appropriate, to share Christian Science with others—such as welcoming our neighbors’ children to our Sunday Schools, inviting newcomers to Christian Science lectures or church services, or sharing Christian Science literature.
Many years ago, when I was a high school student in South Korea and just a beginner in the study of Christian Science, I mistakenly thought that I could not help others unless I had been through Primary class instruction in Christian Science and had decades of studying the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s writings under my belt. But I knew that at least I could practice the great command to love my neighbor as myself (see Matthew 22:35–40) and embrace the spirit of the following Bible verses to the best of my ability: “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me” (Matthew 25:35, 36).
I had an opportunity to put this into practice in a small way that resulted in a wonderful healing for a friend who was not a Christian Scientist. One weekend, he was struck in the face by a very hard-thrown baseball, and it shattered his eyeglasses. Pieces of broken glass went into his left eye.
