ROBERT S. LEWIS

I was brought up in Christian Science, had the opportunity to go to Christian Science Sunday School, and relied totally on God for healing during my childhood. However, it wasn't until I was well into my teens that I began to make the Bible Lesson, outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly, a part of each day. I must say, the decision to study the entire lesson each day has brought into my life countless blessings and healings, one of which I would like to share here.

While I was on a trip overseas, in a country where I did not speak the language, I severely twisted my ankle. At the time, I was jogging up in the hills, a number of miles from my hotel. Suggestions of fear and helplessness seemed to pervade my thought momentarily. Yet almost instantly a calmness took over, and I began to affirm the omnipresence of God. I knew that there is only one Mind, and that I could in no way be separated from strength derived from the one Mind. Soon I felt that I would be able to make my way back to the hotel.

Once there, I began studying the Bible Lesson for that week. The subject of the lesson was "Soul." Earlier I had finished reading the August 1984 issue of The Christian Science Journal. This issue included many inspiring articles on our dual pastor—the Bible and the textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mrs. Eddy. The articles emphasized how our pastor is always available to help us, no matter what the difficulty seems to be.
