Christian Science, the answer...

Donna H. Kenyon

Christian Science, the answer to everyone's human need, is the greatest legacy my mother could have given to me, and for it I am humbly grateful.

During the Second World War my husband was stationed in Arizona. While we were visiting him, our son, who was then three years old, fell into an irrigation canal. While efforts were being made to find him—he was under the water from seven to ten minutes—the fear clamoring for recognition in my consciousness was almost overwhelming. The fear expressed by those around me seemed to take on Goliath proportions too; but I knew that the help that was needed was closer than my thinking.

This assurance from the Bible came to me (II Tim. 1:7): "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." It brought with it the quietness which was needed for listening to God's voice. I acknowledged silently the indestructible nature of God as Life, and our boy's inseparability from Life as its spiritual expression. I also recalled (Col. 3:3), "For ye are dead, and your life is had with Christ in God." I understood this to mean that my thought must be dead to all the mortal beliefs of life in matter and that because Life is hid, unseen by the supposititious material senses, it can never be touched by them.
