It is now twenty-three years since I enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School, where I first gained an understanding of the truth, and yet I feel that I have only touched the hem of spiritual understanding. The more I understand Truth, as revealed in Christian Science, the more I realize how little I know compared with what there is to know of God, of Life, Truth, and Love.
Many times I have demonstrated and have seen others demonstrate the healing power of God. When I had been a student of Christian Science but a short time I was healed of an infected heel through the help of a practitioner. The next day I was playing outdoors, skipping rope with the other children.
One of my first childhood demonstrations means much to me because it taught me to rely wholly on God. A book was taken from my school locker, and I was told that I would either have to find it or pay for it before I could graduate. I did not wish to trouble my mother with this problem, for she had little financial means. However, I had been given money with which to obtain my class picture, and the following suggestion came to me: "If you don't make this demonstration of God's goodness, you can fall back on this money and use it for the book."
