Germaine Jonquières

When Christian Science was presented to me, I was going through deep waters. I felt alone and without hope for the future. Nevertheless, the hand of God was present to guide me, to help me, and to lift me from the despair into which f had fallen. It did this by acquainting me with Christian Science.

I had no home and was gravely in need of a place in which to live. Very harmonious quarters were soon provided for me. Among the members of the branch Church of Christ. Scientist, which I attended and of which I am now a member, I found much kindness, love, and encouragement. Their friendship was a great comfort to me.

Through the study of Christian Science I have been healed of sore throat, from which I had suffered before knowing the truth, and I have been divinely protected. Among other instances of protection I should like to mention the following one. While boiling some water for the laundry, I heard several explosions and saw that the gas pipe of the stove was in flames. Immediately and without any fright, I closed the stopcock before the danger had time to grow worse. During that morning I had been thinking of Mrs. Eddy's hymn, "The Mother's Evening Prayer" (Poems, p. 4). This had made me particularly conscious of the omnipresence of God; so I was free from fear at the time of the emergency.
