One of the things for which I am most grateful is that Christian Science teaches us freedom from fear, because at one time I was so fearful I could not sleep if I was alone at night. Sometimes it was as if I were paralyzed with fright, and then I would be afraid that I could not help myself if anything did happen. I tried to overcome this through the study of Christian Science.

A practitioner was very helpful, but I knew this was something I had to work out and understand for myself. Then I heard a Christian Science lecture which gave me more light on overcoming fear. At the conclusion of the lecture I felt impelled to speak to the lecturer, which in itself was a demonstration.

I told the lecturer that I was having a problem with fear, and she said, "You must not be afraid of your fears." One of the aspects of the problem was this: when I was alone at night many frightful possibilities would come to my thought. It seemed to me that if I could think such things, they could surely happen to me.
