In the 1960's, one of our children...

In the 1960's, one of our children became desperately ill, and the doctor was unable to help. At one stage my distraught wife hastened to a neighbor's to telephone the doctor. This neighbor happened to be a Christian Science practitioner. We knew nothing of Science, but our friend talked to my wife with great motherliness, sharing truths of the baby's spiritual perfection as God's child. Eventually my wife's fears were eased, and the baby was healed.

I had battled poor eyesight for some time. When it became increasingly difficult to see, I decided to consult an optometrist.

As I sat in the waiting room, reading a back issue of the Sentinel, I was prompted to pray vigorously for the welfare of mankind, recognizing the true, flawless nature of each of God's ideas. I began to forget my problems as I acknowledged God's perfect spiritual creation.
