Through the study of Christian Science, I have learned to trust in the loving care of God. Day in and day out I rejoice in abundant proofs of His love for me, and I consider it a privilege to share even a few of these proofs.

I became interested in Christian Science after I had been attending Sunday school for a number of years. At first I went because my mother watned me to go, but as I grew older and began to make more decisions for myself, I started to lose interest in Sunday school and told my mother that I was no longer going to attend. However, at her request I agreed to attend for a little while longer, and shortly afterwards was shown that Christian Science is a tangible and practical religion which I could use to great advantage in my daily living.

One day I was hit in the eye with a hockey stick which made rather a large cut on the eyelid. In a frightened state of mind I turned to my Sunday school teacher for help, and I received his loving aid as well as a forceful admonition to put into practice the truths that I knew. Not only was I relieved of all pain inside of a few hours, but also, the fear of those around me that the eyeball would be injured, was destroyed. This caused me to start an earnest study of Christian Science. I found that this study enabled me to be a better student in high school and college, and made my home relationships more loving, harmonious, and enjoyable. In short, I proved the truth of Mrs. Eddy's words (Science and Health, p. 329), "A little leaven leavens the whole lump," and found that Christian Science improved every phase of my life.
