William P. Pruden

I should like to give grateful acknowledgment to Christian Science, which I began to study in 1931. During the earlier years it proved a solution to business, financial, and employment problems. Chronic colds, tonsillitis, and constipation were overcome, and best of all, an assurance was gained of having found the right way.

In 1940 my interpretations of the following passages from "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy led me to enlist in the Canadian Army: "Mortal mind, not matter, is the criminal in every case; and human law rightly estimates crime, and courts reasonably pass sentence, according to the motive" (p. 105); "But those who discern Christian Science will hold crime in check. They will aid in the ejection of error" (pp. 96, 97); and, "Christians must take up arms against error at home and abroad" (p. 29). The heartaches of leaving home were tempered when I considered the infinite nature of God and realized that material space could not separate man from any good thing. Thereafter, moving from place to place, particularly going overseas, was accompanied by greater peace of mind.

Making myself known in my unit as a student of Christian Science was made more easy by gifts of Science periodicals and woolen comforts which came to my hut mates from the Christian Science War Relief Committee of our province.
