HARRIET BRADFORD

Christian Science has been the one constant, dominant factor in my progress since childhood. At a very early age I was placed, by one of my parents who was interested in Christian Science, in a Christian Science Sunday school where, with only brief intervals, I remained a regular attendant until I left home for college. While I was still a child, the passing away of this parent left the rest of the family seemingly very antagonistic to Christian Science, but my own work and that most lovingly done for me by a practitioner was such that I clung naturally and ever more gratefully to Christian Science, without active interference from those about me. I can truthfully say that my understanding of Christian Science was my so-called "bringing up." When ready for college, I was released from the family experience and sent away in a manner so completely beyond what human planning could have outlined that I was enabled to see the certainty of the security expressed in the following verse of Hymn No. 163 of the Christian Science Hymnal:—

Lord, my times are in Thy hand:
All my sanguine hopes have planned,
To Thy wisdom I resign,
And would mould my will to Thine.
