PERFECT TIMING

JANET HEGARTY—ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, US

WHEN I WAS FIRST INTRODUCED to Christian Science as a young adult, the freedom from fear that came into my life made a big impression on me. I'd had an overall feeling that life and God were a mystery. But Christian Science made life and God understandable. I was inspired and wanted to learn all that I could in order to be able to share it with others.

Four years after this, I took Primary class instruction—a course that prepares the student of Christian Science to pray more effectively for themselves and others. Following that, I had a real desire to work as a Christian Science practitioner. However, I felt that I still needed to practice what I'd learned more in my own life before beginning to pray for others.

At that time The Christian Science Monitor had local church members who worked as advertising representatives. I became a rep for our small community, and in this capacity I introduced the paper to local merchants and sold ads. I was deeply impressed by the warm welcome I received in the community, and also by the active desire of merchants to advertise in the Monitor.
