A teacher of Christian Science once reminded me, "Progress Spirit ward is progress in everything." All the blessings that have come to me in the last twenty years confirm that this is true and that progress Spirit ward in Christian Science is the best progress of all.

When I was a young architectural assistant in London, England, in 1934, I was attracted by the orderly charm of a Christian Science Reading Room. My first study of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, convinced me that here was the full truth I had been seeking throughout my orthodox church training. I had been confirmed in an orthodox church, but here was a deeper sense of confirmation, confirming such Scriptural prophecies as (Matt. 5:6), "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."

With my finding of Truth came signs following in the form of various healings, including that of acute eyestrain. Better employment unfolded, and a deeper understanding of life was gained. Progress and healings have continued through the years. Many demonstrations of divine guidance and protection were made while I was serving in Britain's Royal Navy in World War II. During this period there were dramatic as well as undramatic evidences of Love's protection resulting from my consciousness of the truths of Christian Science. I am grateful for the inspiration gained from adhering to the textbook and also for friends among students of Christian Science in both hemispheres.
