John M. Lade with contributions from Shelagh Lade

Christian Science came into my life when I was a small boy, my parents and I having been helped by it shortly after I had suffered a severe illness. I am indeed grateful for the blessing of attending Sunday school, for our textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and for the truth which has gradually filled my thinking. This Science has continued to bless me and mine, and increasingly governs my thinking and action.

Physical difficulties have been few, and for these Christian Science treatment has been applied either by myself or by practitioners, for whose unselfed work it is hard to express enough gratitude.

Several instances of protection have been experienced. At a time when air raids were frequent, I was on duty one night at a naval establishment a few miles from my home. During the day I had gone to my cabin, desiring to read the Lesson-Sermon through, and thus had gained a strong sense of peace and harmony. While I was reading the Bible passages my eye fell on one not in the Lesson of that week (Ps. 127:1): "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain." For some time I pondered this passage, though there appeared to be no reason to do so, as the prospect of an air raid was not in my thought.
