I am very grateful to have been brought up in a home where Christian Science was loved and lived, and to have been taught for some years in a Christian Science Sunday School. Although my interest seemed to wane for a period, the understanding of God I had gained never left me, and I gradually came to realize that no other teaching or philosophy could satisfy me.

When I was nineteen, my mother, who was very close to me, passed on. Only a few days before, I had gained great inspiration from an editorial in The Christian Science Journal entitled "Weep Not." This inspiration so remained with me that not for one moment was I touched by any suggestion of loss or grief. I saw that in truth I had no cause to weep or mourn, and instead I was able truly to rejoice that man had never lived or died in matter and that his real identity as God's reflection could never be lost. I was completely sustained through the days that followed.

My mother's passing left me with no parents and few relatives, and threatened to deprive me of home and security. There seemed many problems to resolve, and I sought the aid of a Christian Science practitioner, who prayerfully gave me treatment. Within a few days I knew exactly what steps to take. Arrangements were made that met my needs completely, even enabling me to maintain the home for a period. Later, when it became clear that I should sell the property, the right idea of home was again demonstrated. Looking back, I can see that divine Love was meeting my needs in exactly the right way at the right time.
