Christian Science came into our home when I was a small child. At that time my mother visited a Christian Science practitioner as a last resort after the medical doctors told her she must submit to an operation for ulcers of the stomach. During her first talk with the practitioner my mother, who had been a registered nurse, was convinced of the truth of this Science, and a complete healing followed.

This healing took place over twenty years ago, and during the ensuing years Christian Science, when conscientiously applied, has solved our every problem, whether physical, mental, or financial. As a girl in high school I suffered from recurring headaches which necessitated my staying in a darkened room for a day at a time. Persistent application of the truth as taught in Christian Science eliminated the headaches. Always I have experienced wonderful protection from contagious diseases, undesirable relationships, accidents, and other guises which evil would assume in order to gain recognition.

Upon graduation from college I obtained employment at a time when it was said no openings in the journalistic line existed for women. My marriage a few years later was another example of the blessings which unfold to us when divine guidance is earnestly sought. Although my husband served in the Army for more than four years during the recent conflict, we were not separated, and our sense of home remained intact. Comfortable housing was available to us at each post.
