THE CHURCH IN ACTION

Christian Science on campus

From the August 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal


From time to time individuals m the Field send useful experiences they have had in church work. The following is one example.

I joined the Christian Science Organization at the University of Washington in 1936. It was a natural step for me, as I had just come out of Sunday School, and it was an experience of great beauty. We met each Thursday evening for a testimony meeting in the main room of the YMCA, which faced the campus. Our membership of faculty and students represented many fields. The testimonies of the members were related largely to better understanding in their schoolwork—in the departments of business, economics, architecture, journalism, the humanities, music, fine arts.

Our school life was busy, filled with so many studies and activities that I did not realize the depth of the effect of faithful attendance at the meetings. But this participation revealed more of my God-given spiritual intelligence, and the first year I was recognized for high scholarship on the campus, getting all A's.
