RADIO PROGRAM No. 100 - Proving Our God-given Capacities

Hugh W. St. Onge

On this program Hugh W. St. Onge of Bangor, Maine, told of his own experience, as follows:

I suppose you'd describe my problem as acute self-consciousness. It began when I was a boy. This was not the ordinary shyness of a growing boy, but a painful state of embarrassment in the presence of other people. I remember that once I stayed after school every night for a whole month rather than get up and recite a piece before my classmates. Furthermore, I didn't outgrow this abnormal state as the years went by, and I continued to avoid everything that called attention to myself.

When I reached young manhood, I wanted very much to take an active part in lodge work. But this agonizing self-consciousness kept me from it. It looked as if I was doomed to sit on the side lines, keeping myself well in the background. But that was all before Christian Science came into my life.
