I wish to express my gratitude for the many blessings and healings I have experienced since I became a student of Christian Science. Recently it has been my pleasure to work on the thought of harmony and to prove that harmony exists among friends, in families, and in business. I have also done work regarding universal harmony.

I should like to tell of an instance when a beautiful healing of an inharmonious situation took place. I had made application to take an evening course which taught how to run a telephone switchboard in a private branch exchnage. Prayerful thought had been given as to the choice of a teacher, and plans had been made to start the study. While visiting a friend who had recently completed this course, I mentioned my plans to her. This friend, who is not a Christian Scientist, but who admires Christian Science, thought she was doing a kind act in telephoning to the teacher to recomment me. She also told her that I was a Christian Scientist.

The first night that I attended class the teacher had much to say about the course being for young people. She said that older people were too slow, were unable to coordinate, and became too nervous. Then she said to me in a flippant manner: "Oh, you will get it all right. You are a Christian Scientist." Allowing myself to become mesmerized with this talk of age, I became fearful; and as time went on I expressed a great deal of stupidity. I gave much prayerful meditation to the correction of this situation, and every night after my office closed I would go to a Christian Science Reading Room for study.
