When the good news of Christian Science...

Frances Richardson

When the good news of Christian Science came to me, I knew it was God's answer to my earnest prayers. I went home from the first Sunday service I attended in a Church of Christ, Scientist, filled with happiness and gratitude for the love expressed by the ushers and church members. Our son was enrolled in the Christian Science Sunday School, and a dear friend showed me how to study the weekly Bible Lessons from the Quarterly.

Soon afterward I found myself in a strange city with no funds and with two people to support. But God was with us, and I clung to His promise found in Psalm 138 (verse 8), "The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me: thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: forsake not the works of thine own hands." One position led to another as I learned to accept any opportunity to serve. At one time I had to hold four part-time positions. Supply always came when needed, often from unexpected sources. In addition, I was able to repay a rather large debt incurred by another member of the family.

One blessing after another has come into our experience since Christian Science taught me to rely entirely on God's law of infinite good. Twice I have been protected in accidents. Once, in winter, I was riding in the front seat of a friend's car when it went out of control, skidded oil the road, and reversed its direction, coming to a stop near a concrete support. No harm was done to us or to the car, and we continued on our way, thanking God for this protection.
