Before coming into Christian Science, the word dominion had no meaning to us, although we had read and re-read in Genesis, that man was given "dominion over all the earth."
We, of all people, can rejoice that we are being led out of the wilderness. The sickness and discords that befell us, because of our belief in a power apart from God, are disappearing, and through this precious understanding given to us in "Science and Health," we are helping to destroy these illusions for others.
Failing to find our prayers answered in the old thought, we were forced to accept one of two conclusions, viz., that God did not hear them, or hearing them, He refused to answer them, and He seemed afar off, instead of an "everpresent help in trouble."
