A minister
of an orthodox church, who was reviewing his first year in a new and rather fashionable community, spoke especially of one quiet, demure, elderly couple who never missed a service of any kind in the church.
Was it mere coincidence that he had such a sense of security or is there a definite basis for a confidence that enables everyone to meet, undisturbed, whatever danger presents itself?

I am very grateful for the wonderful healings I have experienced through Christian Science and for the understanding of God's ever-present help in time of need.
After many years in which I have found much to help me in the testimonies I have read in The Christian Science Journal and in the Sentinel, I offer my testimony with the hope that it will help someone.
