I have long desired to offer my testimony of the many blessings I have received from God through the study and application of Christian Science; and while the physical healings have been numerous—some as the result of my own understanding and others from the help of Christian Science friends and practitioners—I especially wish to relate an outstanding experience which proves God's ever-presence and guidance.

Early in the year of 1935, at a time when my husband had just passed on, I was confronted with the necessity of earning my own livelihood, and I undertook to resume my profession as a schoolteacher, even though I had not taught for approximately twenty-five years. The outlook, generally, did not appear encouraging, but when I investigated the possibilities of teaching, I learned that by attending a summer course given at the Normal College of my state, where I had graduated in 1906, I could renew my diploma and become eligible. With the aid of Christian Science I fulfilled the requirement.

At this juncture, however, I should like to state that I had no assurance that I should be given a teaching assignment that fall, but through the consecrated study of Christian Science and reliance on God, I was called three days before school opened in September to accept the grade that I preferred to teach in one of the public schools nearest my home in the city where I reside.
