I should like to testify to the wonderful protection and guidance Christian Science affords its students.
My husband and I drove over sixteen thousand miles in twenty different European countries, relying on Christian Science to meet our every need. Constant use of Mrs. Eddy's statement on page 454 of the Christian Science textbook, "Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way," as well as our daily study of the Christian Science Quarterly Lesson-Sermon, helped us to bridge the language barrier, find sleeping accommodations without reservations, and demonstrate protection from traffic accidents and car trouble over a period of nine months.
We spent one month driving through Spain, and as we neared Seville we were constantly warned that accommodations would not be available as the yearly fair was about to start and reservations were always made six months in advance. Nevertheless, half an hour after entering Seville, two days before the fair, we found excellent accommodations on the outskirts of town. We were told, however, that the room must be vacated the first morning of the fair. At this time my husband was experiencing distressing hernia symptoms, and we longed for more time to be quiet and pray. Without human urging on our part, the management later told us we could remain for the first two days of the fair.
