Just the day before a ten-hour "Operation Drug Alert" was to take place in their community, members of a branch church in the state of Washington felt impelled to participate. They were motivated, they report, by Mrs. Eddy's statement: "Practice not profession, understanding not belief, gain the ear and right hand of omnipotence and they assuredly call down infinite blessings."Science and Health, p. 15
The community event was staged to inform primarily young people of the danger of drug abuse and of the help available to them. Nearly 7,000 attended. Sponsors welcomed the presentation of Christian Science, saying, "There will be people coming who are looking for just such an answer."
