A College Student Writes

The Way of Life

SANDRA MAYHALL

Christian Science is not only a way of life, but the way of Life to all who have learned to rely on its teachings for the solution of daily problems. The college student, especially, experiencing perhaps his first real break with home ties, finds his values, ethics, and beliefs being questioned both by others and by himself. In Christian Science he finds the beacon of Truth, Principle, and Love illumining his path.

In the pseudosophisticated atmosphere on the campuses of many colleges and universities today, the college student does well to pause and consider the counsel of Paul to the Philippians (4:8), "Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."
