NINA WINANS

In my profession, that of teaching French, Christian Science has been of inestimable value. The understanding that man is the full expression of Mind uncovers the falsities that one must be born in a certain place to acquire excellence in speaking a foreign language; that he need be satisfied with anything less than perfection for his goal. Never having had the intention of teaching I had preferred to specialize rather than to work for a diploma, so that when I wished to turn my training to practical account, I did not seem to fit into the conventional educational routine, and was forced to find a place for myself. Through this pioneer work Christian Science was my never failing solace, and I learned to turn more constantly to divine Mind for guidance and inspiration. In consequence, I find myself in a professional environment capable of greater elasticity, and offering greater possibilities than the positions which were sought originally.

When first presented to me as a young girl, the explanation which Christian Science gives of a perfect God and perfect man (hence the impossibility and unreality of evil) satisfied my sense of right and justice so that I accepted it at once without reserve. Subsequent study has developed this instinctive turning to the truth into a firm conviction.

Christian Science has relieved me of the necessity of wearing glasses, of chronic neuralgia, and of nervous exhaustion, which would overtake me in the midst of a season and make absolute rest imperative. It has effaced the specter of limited strength, opportunity, and supply with the joyous, secure sense of God's infinite provision for His children. Naturally I am most grateful to our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, whose life work has made these blessings available.
