When I left a Christian Science Sunday School at the age of twenty, I might have thanked my teachers in the following words from the Bible (Ps.16:6): "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage." This "goodly heritage" has been with me ever since, for I have continued to experience and feel the love of God, which Christian Science makes evident to us.
I am very happy and grateful that my husband and my whole family adhere to Christian Science. We have been privileged to have many beautiful experiences, one of which was the finding of a home of our own. My husband and I had been working on the true meaning of home even before our marriage. On page 156 of "Twelve Years with Mary Baker Eddy," Irving C. Tomlinson writes, "On one occasion, as I recall, Mrs. Eddy said to the members of her household: 'Home is not a place but a power.'" This thought helped us very much. On page 494 of Science and Health, Mrs. Eddy writes, "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need." These words were proved true in our experience. When the arrival of our second child made the living quarters we had been occupying till then inadequate, in other words, when the need was at hand, divine Love met it in such a wonderful way that we can never cease to be grateful.
We can also be very grateful for the physical healings which our children have experienced. I should like especially to mention one of them. My husband, the two children, and I were inspecting a house under construction. I had our younger daughter, then eighteen months old, by the hand. When I let her go for a moment in order to look at something, she ran away from me and fell into the open shaft where the cellar steps would be, which was about eight feet deep. I lifted her up, and we declared immediately that there are no accidents in divine Mind.
