Christian Science has been the way of Life to me from infancy

Grace M. Longan

Christian Science has been the way of Life to me from infancy. My parents were devout students, and their conscientious living of this wonderful religion was a guide and protection to me during early childhood and the teen-age years. I am very grateful to them for their dedication to Christian Science and their patient and untiring devotion to me. I have experienced many beautiful healings in Christian Science and witnessed many others, but an experience I had some years ago has been so continuously helpful to me that I feel impelled to share it with others.

At the beginning of the Second World War we were obliged to change our comfortable and happy way of living, as did so many others. We had to move to another city, sell our home, leave our branch church and many friends, and find a new home, all within a very short time. Everything seemed to be a big problem, and I found myself becoming quite tense and unhappy. As a student of Christian Science I knew what to do about this and proceeded to give myself a prayerful treatment, including the whole experience in that treatment. We found an apartment in another city, but although the move was made harmoniously, I still felt tense, rebellious, and unhappy.

Shortly after we moved into our new home I attended a nearby Christian Science lecture. One thought the lecturer expressed early in his talk caught my attention completely. It was that it is a good thing to take a short time each day to look for signs of God's presence everywhere, drop one's problems, one's family's problems and patients' problems, and just look to God.
