H. Graham D. de Chair

My mother was interested in Christian Science when I was born, and I have been fortunate in being able to attend Christian Science Sunday Schools and, later, church services during most of my travels. I have cause to be very grateful for the protective and healing power of this wonderful, scientific religion.

During the Second World War, while I was serving in the Royal Navy, there were occasions when only divine protection and guidance could account for my survival and freedom from injury. I was constantly reminded of the omnipresence and omnipotence of God as Life and was grateful for the sense of love and protection which a knowledge of this basic fact afforded. I am grateful for even a small understanding of the great truths which Christian Science teaches and for the help of a practitioner at that time.

Recently I had a wonderful proof of the healing power of Science. I was master of a sail training ship. While dressing one morning I suddenly became immobilized by a sharp pain in my back and was unable to move. I lay on my back for four hours until we reached harbor. During this time I read the textbook by Mrs. Eddy and repeatedly declared the truth to myself that man, as God's reflection, is perfect and spiritual and consequently not subject to accident or immobilization.
