HEART'S EASE

From the October 1957 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The tranquillity of a garden, its hushed stillness on a summer evening, offers peace to the one who walks in it. The wealth of fragrance and the masses of color make the heart sing in contentment and gratitude. She who discovered Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, and who loved nature wrote in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 240,) "The floral apostles are hieroglyphs of Deity."

Sweetness and beauty, qualities of God, are expressed by the flowers. Loved by many generations are the pansies. Some people have fondly referred to them as "little men" because of their markings that resemble human faces. Others finding them companionable, especially the wild variety, have called them heartsease.

Heart's ease or peace in life is needed by the world. Mankind is hungry for comfort, consolation, and solace for the discords of the flesh and the mind. How mankind needs the easing of the heart that comes through the knowledge of God that Christian Science reveals! How it needs to open its heart to the Comforter, the Christ, Truth, which Jesus promised would take away the ills of the world!
