FROM THE DEPTHS OF DESPAIR

Over nine years ago I sat in the depths of despair, with no hope in my heart, no light, no joy, and no prospect of ever being happy again. I had laid away, one by one, my loved ones, until I was left in my home with only one daughter, and now I was told I must give her up too.

An important element in the elixir will be the mental absorption of the fact that "God is love," and that "in Him we live and move and have our being.
