I had the wonderful opportunity of attending...

From the October 1955 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I had the wonderful opportunity of attending the Christian Science Sunday School for many years until I reached college age. At this time my interest became haphazard and continued so for a number of years. I studied little and attended church irregularly until the time when my own daughters were ready to attend Sunday School. However, during these years there was a comforting, childlike faith, which I had gained during my Sunday School experience, that God, good, is All and that the law of God is ever present, ever operative, and ever available to meet and overcome every discord.

After ten years of a very happy marriage, my husband passed on. This was my testing time. I recognized that only as I gained an understanding of God as the only creator and of man as His unceasing expression could I gain any sense of tranquillity and peace. This task was not a simple one in the face of what appeared to be an overwhelming grief, together with the added responsibility of becoming the support of my two daughters, one of whom was seven years old and the other three.

Again and again, sometimes through my own efforts and sometimes with the help of practitioners, my sense of panic was overcome and my peace of mind restored. I was led from one position to another, each one a progressive step in regard to interest and salary. A lovely home became ours as the result of Love's unfoldment, and our health was maintained. Even the usual children's diseases, if they did touch my daughters, touched them so lightly that scarcely any discomfort was experienced.
