Hallie Jean L. Buettner with contributions from Mabel Littlefair

It was my privilege to attend the Christian Science Sunday School from an early age. The firm foundation of God's goodness this established in my thinking is cause for rejoicing. Of course there have been testing times, but these became times of proving God's tender care. Childhood diseases were quickly healed, and for the prophylactic power of Christian Science I am extremely grateful. However, the concept for which I am the most grateful is the fundamental fact, which always abides in my thinking, that God is good and that good, God, governs all.

Whenever a new position has come to me, I have been able to see it as a challenge and opportunity, and have accepted it with joy, feeling confident that since this is God's plan for me certainly He expresses the wisdom and strength necessary to fulfill the requirements. With this attitude each experience has been a happy one and has prepared me for the next one.

A testing time I consider a milestone came when I was a senior in college. I had become rather worldly in my thinking and had certainly tried to seek the benefits of Christian Science without striving for them. Suddenly I found myself with a case of streptococcus throat. The college medical authorities who were called in painted a very dire picture. When my parents were notified, treatment through prayer was taken up by a Christian Science practitioner. The doctor was informed of this, and all medication ceased.
