I am deeply grateful for Christian Science and all its activities, but especially grateful for the protection I have received through more than forty years of motoring and during intense bombing during World War II. Our house was badly damaged, but there were no casualties in all the neighborhood. And again I was protected with others while doing distribution work for the branch Church of Christ, Scientist, of which I was then a member.

We were visiting the London docks every week all through the war. It was our duty to leave the church at nine-thirty, but on this particular morning, in no way could the drawer be opened in which our passes were kept. This delayed us for about twenty minutes. When a last effort was made, the key turned quite easily, and we went on our way. Had we left the church at our correct time, we would no doubt have been crossing over a very large crossroad in the East India dock area when a rocket bomb fell in the center of it. But we were there just after it had fallen.

I witnessed the healing of cancer when the patient was given only six weeks to live. I shall be ever grateful to the practitioner for her love and patience through what was a very difficult case.
