Excerpts from Letters Concerning Christian Science Wartime Activities

[From a Volunteer Christian Science Wartime Worker]

While I was on duty in the Christian Science Service Center a few weeks ago, an American officer requested that I give him some metaphysical help. He was taking a plane trip on the morrow, and the pilot had confided to him his fears of landing in a certain location. He asked me to do protective work for the situation. When he had finished speaking, I referred him to the following Scripture (II Tim. 1:7): "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." This reference was explained to him in detail.

He then recounted that he was fearful of many things, and that he had overworked. I spoke at some length about man as the expression of divine Mind, and about his God-given dominion and energies. I stressed the need for standing porter at the door of thought. (See "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 392.)
