Those who think they would feel lonely or different will be interested in the story of a student at a Virginia college who is too busy representing her religion on campus to let her uniqueness bother her. With no Christian Science college organization or informal group to stand with her, this young woman has established fine rapport with the college chaplain, partly through her good work in his classes on religion.
This past year the chaplain invited her to be a chapel speaker, a distinct honor for a junior, since previously only seniors have been invited. Her talk was on God's love for man, discounting any need of fear. Instead of the usual coughing and other signs indicative of students' boredom, "you could have heard a pin drop," she said.
This student also initiated a campaign to sell The Christian Science Monitor, personally addressing 600 individual subscription blanks to student body and faculty. There were numerous appreciative comments. Some girls responded quickly; others looked forward to subscribing in the fall. One history professor told her that he would make the Monitor required reading in his class in the fall and she could handle the subscriptions.
