Christian Science has been a constant guide, comfort, and source of inspiration to me since early boyhood. I had the privilege of attending a Christian Science Sunday School from the age of about ten years, and the teaching I received there has been a major factor in shaping my life. I attended college away from home, and found there a Christian Science Organization, which provided many opportunities for progress, and where I found many fruitful friendships. The experiences we shared at our testimony meetings were especially helpful in connection with problems of college life. It is very encouraging to find in a community where there seem to be so many distracting elements, a place where one may find the good things Christian Science stands for.

During my college experience I was guided and protected, not only in connection with courses and examinations, but in athletics, student government activities, and social life. It is significant that I never missed a day from school on account of illness or accident. At the close of the senior year there was a series of comprehensive examinations on the whole four years' work. As a result of what I had learned of Christian Science I was almost completely free from fear or nervousness during this experience.
