From the January 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It has been my joyous privilege to be reared in Christian Science. I have experienced wonderful protection, guidance, and healing. I'm grateful for the daily awareness of God's tender, loving care, for Christ Jesus' example, and for Mrs. Eddy's Leadership.

One morning while I was serving as librarian in a Christian Science Reading Room, a man came into the Reading Room just as I was opening up for the day. He was not known to me, but he had been in a few times in the preceding three weeks; so when he asked to see the beautiful Subscription Edition of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, which was displayed in a very awkward place, I removed it from the case and put it on the desk.

He asked questions about its publication, and as I went into the study room to refer to William Dana Orcutt's book, "Mary Baker Eddy and Her Books," for the answers, the visitor said he had to put some money in the parking meter and would be right back. As I turned, he went out of the door, and the Science and Health was gone.
