ROBERT LEUTWILER

I was able to attend the Christian Science Sunday School and to become a member of a Christian Science college organization, and for this I am most grateful. School activities, especially participation on track and cross-country teams, gave me many opportunities for growth in Christian Science. Included among my healings were those of various leg injuries.

While serving in the Peace Corps in Africa, I was able to see how universally applicable are the truths we learn in Christian Science. For example, the truth that Mind is the real communicator, and that therefore there are no barriers of language. People of any background or race can understand the law of God. This recognition of divine Mind's omnipresence helped me in my work of teaching and coaching people from many different countries. I had healings of malaria, eye and knee infections, and snakebite.

The Psalmist exclaimed (Psalm 30: 11): "Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness." I would like to relate an experience that illustrates the saving power of divine Principle. Following my second year of college, I suffered what might have been called a nervous breakdown accompanied by acute paranoia. It was necessary to leave school for a while, but after much study of Christian Science, and with the support of loving Christian Science practitioners at various times, I resumed my studies and completed my undergraduate degree. The spiritual truths I had learned through class instruction from a devoted teacher of Christian Science sustained me during this trial.
