This Thing Called Life"Dr. Holmes finally showed me that in many ways I wasn’t happy, and I certainly wasn’t free. I was making large payments for material things I thought I enjoyed, but I lacked spiritual understanding which brings peace of mind. As I left his office, he presented me with The Science of Mind textbook and said, ‘I know this will help you. "It was then I enrolled in the courses of the Science of Mind and continued to read everything that was suggested by Ernest Holmes, or by the teachers of the various classes. By the time I completed the basic courses, I knew I had found that for which I had been searching and I enrolled in the advanced courses which would lead to the ministry. "During this period, Ernest called me to his office and said, ‘I need you. I’ve been looking for someone to take over my radio program, This Thing Called Life. You have the enthusiasm, and a wonderful voice. Will you do it?’ "This was to have been my project for the duration of my studies, but it became an integral part of our outreach program. When the broadcasts began in 1927, Dr. Holmes insisted that no requests for contributions be made over the air. To this day, that request has been upheld and all funding has come from grateful listeners and members of Religious Science." |
