The willingness to share something of Christian Science one-to-one has produced some interesting experiences. For example:
At a school in California an English literature class was studying "The Second Coming," a poem by W. B. Yeats. The instructor asked the class for its ideas on what the second coming of Christ would be like. Several students gave the usual orthodox interpretation. The one Christian Scientist in the class felt impelled to stay out of the discussion.
"After class," she said, "I told the instructor privately that, as a Christian Scientist, I had quite a different thought about the second coming than those expressed. But I was not sure how he would feel about my introducing a subject that might lead us far astray from the material we were studying. He said it would have been perfectly all right and asked what the Christian Science point of view is. I explained it briefly. Then the very next day the Sentinel arrived, and I was delighted to see the article, 'Is Jesus Coming Again?' I took it to the instructor and he accepted it eagerly. This man, I might add, claims to be an agnostic, although he is a student of the Bible as literature.
