Evelyn M. White

To have known no religion but Christian Science and to have had the privilege of Christian Science Sunday School teaching from an early age, these I count as great blessings. Christian Science has kept me from knowing fear.

I recall one experience, when I was a young child, that illustrates how early I realized freedom from fear. My brother and I were playing in a field with other children when one of them expressed alarm at coming upon a patch of poison ivy. Neither my brother nor I felt any fear, although we were in contact with the ivy.

Contrary to our friends' expectations, there were no ill effects. We were completely confident of our immunity from evil, since we had been taught that God had made only good. This conviction remains and was especially evident to me when my children were young. The realization that God is the Father and Mother of man relieved me of a false sense of responsibility.
