It was shortly before World War II that my mother, sister, and I became interested in Christian Science and later joined The Mother Church. Since then we have been protected and blessed, and life has been more joyous than ever before. With a grateful heart I should like to tell of some of my experiences.

In April, 1942, a tornado struck our home town. At the time I was in the store which my father operated, watching the hail and rain and the effects of the unbelievably strong wind. The terrific force of the storm broke the plate-glass show windows, and as I fled to the rear of the building part of it collapsed. Some of the debris struck me on top of the head, and I started to scramble for cover under a nearby table; but remembering that God was my protector, I stopped immediately. Although the rain was coming down in sheets, the debris ceased falling. I know that God protected me, and I cannot tell in words how grateful I am for that protection. The head injury was quickly healed in Christian Science.

While I was serving with the armed forces I endeavored daily to study the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly, as well as to read as much as I could from the Christian Science periodicals for which I subscribed. That subscription gave me the joy of receiving mail from my homeland, which was comforting and helpful. It was my privilege to help conduct informal Christian Science church services in our camp in Hawaii for about ten months.
