A Sunday School teacher I once had pointed out to his class the importance of giving God the credit for the unfoldment of good in our human affairs. I was making many demonstrations of the truths of Christian Science at the time, but my gratitude had not been the equivalent of those wonderful proofs. I realized then how surely each one of us is under the loving guidance of our Father-Mother God.
It was only through dependence upon this guidance that I was able to complete my first year of college. I began the year uncertain of myself and feeling desperately alone. My mother had passed on two years before that time; and just a month before I arrived on campus, my father passed on.
It was then that my desire to progress further in Christian Science was brought to the front as it became necessary for me to apply Science or give in to a prevailing sense of discouragement and lack of purpose.
