Although to mortal sense it might appear that my life has been one of numerous trials, in retrospect I realize it has been one filled with proofs of God's love, guidance, and protection.
My childhood home was lacking in harmony, wisdom, and daily supply. However, at the age of twelve I was placed in the home of a Christian Scientist, and I began to attend the Christian Science Sunday School. There the seed of Truth was sown, and for this I will always be grateful. Though time and time again I was exposed to so-called childhood diseases, I never caught any of them.
When I was sixteen it appeared that I would not be permitted to finish my last year of high school, for it was thought that I should go to work full time. I knew I could not give in to this suggestion, and someone came to me with an offer of a position which would permit me to attend school and also afford me a small sum of money for everyday expenses. This was like manna from heaven. The woman in this home also was a Christian Scientist.
