My life has been blessed by the study and practice of Christian Science.
In the Sunday School I learned how to apply the teachings of Christian Science to all my work at school, to my relations with people, to my career in the arts, and how and why to uphold a high moral standard at all times. This latter has never ceased to be a source of protection to me. At a time when I wanted to leave Sunday School because I felt I wasn't getting anything out of it, I was admonished to learn to give. I found that there was always something to give. And so I stayed on joyously until I reached the age of twenty.
Throughout my experience at college, including a year in France and later a year in Japan, I relied on Christian Science alone for healing, guidance, protection, support, supply, and a right understanding of companionship. Christian Science never failed me when my trust in God's, Mind's, allness and omnipotence was complete. About this time I was healed of what appeared to be a painful internal growth accompanied by some hemorrhaging. The healing required three years of prayerful study and the help of a dedicated practitioner. The healing was instant the moment I recognized and accepted the fact that the oneness of God's idea, His image and likeness, referred to generic man. I had been believing that to say that man is one would be to limit his individuality, confusing individual and generic man. The healing took place over four years ago, and there has been no recurrence of the difficulty.
