How does one begin to express sufficient gratitude for Christian Science?...

Allen J. Coleman

How does one begin to express sufficient gratitude for Christian Science? This beautiful and practical religion found me at a time of deep depression and frustration. In the final days of World War II, sick and discouraged, I literally cried out one day, "If there is a God, show me!" Our heavenly Father heard me that day. He was present with me, though I knew it not at the time.

Some months later, after my discharge from the Army and subsequent marriage, unemployed and with little hope for the future, I was introduced to Christian Science by my wife. She had attended a Christian Science Sunday School briefly as a child but had not, until that time, been a practicing Christian Scientist. However, during an illness she called a Christian Science practitioner and was healed quickly. That was the first healing I had ever witnessed in Christian Science, and I was considerably impressed.

From that time on we started attending services in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. Soon after, I was led to a position with a large metropolitan area newspaper doing technical work I had learned in the Army. Ironically, I had intensely disliked that work while in the service. I little realized when I accepted the job with the newspaper that this was the open door to a new and completely unexpected career.
