God's promise voiced by Isaiah (65:24), "It shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear," has been proved true many times in my experience.

More than sixty years ago I was a student at one of the English universities, studying political economy, psychology, and logic. My life ran along pleasant lines, and any interest in religion was mainly academic. But later in a time of stress I found myself praying to a God whose existence I had doubted. The prayer was answered when a friend sent me a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. As I read, the spiritual meaning of the Bible began to unfold, opening up a new concept of our life in and of God here and now.

I had a difficult problem to be solved. My parents, for reasons that seemed sufficient to them, were bitterly opposed to my going to Canada to marry the man to whom I was engaged. I loved them dearly, and to ignore their wishes might mean a complete break; but already, through my study of the Bible in this new light, I had gained a sense of confidence that God would show me the way. Earnestly I prayed each day to be divinely directed and resisted the temptation to make human plans or to seek the advice of friends. The answer came from an unexpected quarter. Someone I had never met but who knew my future husband and our problem invited me to visit her in Toronto. I went, and from then on the way opened up. I was married, and after a while there was complete reconciliation with my family.
