Dwight S. Mills

At the completion of my college course, I wrote my first testimony, which appeared in the January 25, 1930, Sentinel, regarding the effectiveness of Christian Science. I there related how it healed me of the smoking habit and of a hernia of many years' duration, and enabled me to complete a four-year engineering course with little financial aid. The naturalness and ease with which ever-recurring emergencies were met are still a source of great inspiration to me as I meditate on them.

In the years following I have found Science equally effective in solving business and family problems. One instance I should like to relate occurred shortly after I entered the engineering profession. I found that all my work was being checked by a brilliant and seemingly arrogant and disagreeable young man who went out of his way to find fault with it and make things difficult for me. On more than one occasion I was strongly tempted to resort to corporeal methods to get an adjustment, but realized that the methods taught in Christian Science were at variance with these, and at the same time more effective.

The controversy reached an acute pitch, and I spent most of one night studying and praying for a solution. I realized that Christian Science teaches that God is my Father and also the other man's Father, and that, regardless of what he might think or do to me in his ignorance of this fact, there was only one acceptable attitude for me to have toward him, and that was one of helpful consideration. I firmly resolved to put into practice this revelation.
