Because I find myself associated again with men in the Army, I have vividly recalled many instances of God's loving protection and guidance during my service in the first World War. Divine Love often kept me from temptations of the flesh, and in many other respects made my path easier.
At the time of my enlistment in the Army, I was a student in the Christian Science Sunday School, in which I had been enrolled when I was six years old. It was natural then that when I left for camp I took with me the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. These precious books fully equipped me for any emergency, for I had learned to rely implicitly on God. The instruction given me in the Sunday school, the healings which I had received and those which had been witnessed had convinced me that Christian Science never fails when correctly applied.
While my service in the Army overseas was without any great hardship or suffering, still there were occasions when it was necessary to prove God's omnipotence.
