Elsie May Busby

I first heard of Christian Science at the office to which I went on leaving school. I shall ever be grateful to the one who, through her own splendid example and character, attracted me to the study of Science, which has given me a better understanding of God as omnipresent and omnipotent Love, Mind, and Principle, and of man, made in His image and likeness, and therefore inseparable from Him.

When I have used this knowledge, I have been immeasurably helped. Business problems have been solved, and I have been comforted and sustained when loved ones have passed on.

I have been protected in various ways, particularly during the war years when our house was completely destroyed a few moments after my mother and I had left it. We were unharmed. As I looked at the space where the house had been, wonderful promises from the Bible came pouring into my consciousness, including: "Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations" (Ps. 90:1), "Fear thou not; for I am with thee" (Isa. 41:10), and, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want" (Ps. 23: 1).
