To-day as I sat reading a few lines from the Sentinel (a most welcome friend), the thought came forcibly to send at least a word of thanks to the many kind contributors and co-workers of the Journal and Sentinel, for the many encouraging and helpful words that I have gathered from them, also to express a word of gratitude for the Source of all this Truth.
Christian Science came to my notice in an hour of great need, when all seemed very dark, both from a physical and spiritual standpoint. My healing was very slow. Only as I came into the understanding and lived it daily, did the physical effects disappear. It meant hard striving, as doubt, fear, envy, hatred, jealousy, and selfishness seemed to have a firm hold upon the thought; but through the teachings of Science and Health, with the encouragement of faithful ones, much of the "old man" has disappeared and the new put on, and with this word "Love" firmly held to, I have seen disturbances among my co-workers fade and harmony prevail.
I did not combat Science when first presented, simply asked, "What is it?" then said, I was willing to try if my friend would accompany me. She did. I had no professed religion or religious views, but had pointedly refused to try the "isms" when the same had been suggested to me.
