In Psalms (119:27) we read, "Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works."I have seen so many "wondrous works" during the twenty-five years I have been a student of Christian Science that I find it difficult to know where to begin in speaking of them.

At the time of writing, I have just been released from an internment camp in Hong Kong, in which I spent three years and eight months. This period I used to think of as one of wandering in the wilderness, but God indeed made the wilderness to "blossom as the rose," and I am very grateful for the many lessons which I have learned from this unique experience.

The abnormal conditions under which I lived in the camp forced the errors of impatience, intolerance, resentment, self-pity, and self-condemnation to the surface, and they had to be handled again and again. Through constant prayer, watching, and consecrated effort I have been enabled to impersonalize them and see their nothingness, proving what our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, says on page 118 of "Miscellaneous Writings": "The warfare with one's self is grand; it gives one plenty of employment, and the divine Principle worketh with you, —and obedience crowns persistent effort with everlasting victory."
