Sandra Trevor-Roberts

Although I am a third-generation Christian Scientist, I became very lukewarm and apathetic toward this Science during my high school and university years. I suppose it had been too easy for me to turn to my mother or grandmother for help in prayer, and I had never really been challenged with a serious difficulty. As a result of a crisis when I was newly married, I felt literally forced back into Christian Science. Only then did I realize just what I'd been missing, and how wonderfully satisfying this religion is in every way.

I soon joined a Church of Christ, Scientist, and thereafter had class instruction. This instruction was the most rewarding and motivating experience of my life. It made my commitment to Christian Science total, and it brought the realization that no problem is too great for this Science to annihilate. Our teacher encouraged us to tackle problems ourselves before rushing to telephone Christian Science practitioners busy with those who perhaps needed their support and guidance more.

The year following class instruction I was able, most unexpectedly, to attend the Biennial College Meeting at The Mother Church. This was a deeply moving experience, which heightened and strengthened my dedication to Christian Science. During my absence, my husband, at that time a regular attendant of a church of another denomination, continued to leave our two small children at the Christian Science Sunday School. He then found himself staying for the service at our church, as it satisfied him more than his own. Since then social drinking has simply left him.
