I have often desired to write to the Journal and express, as well as words can, my gratitude for the many blessings Christian Science has brought to me. It is not so much physical help that is the cause of rejoicing, although before learning of this great Truth medicine was my meat and drink; but it is for the joy and peace gained from studying "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and the blessed assurance of God's presence to help in every time of need.
A little band of us meet in a schoolhouse and have the regular church services on Sunday. Error often tries to discourage with the tempting suggestion of "no good done," because our numbers have not increased as in other places; but a lady who attended our meeting about a year ago, writing to a friend, said her first attendance at a Christian Science meeting was in a schoolhouse, and there a seed was dropped that had been growing in one life, and that Christian Science had brought joy to her home.
When I heard this, I said, "This is cause for rejoicing, and teaches me not to get discouraged, but to put forth a greater effort to be faithful and so to live that my life may shine, and that I may reflect more love." I get much help from the Bible Lessons, Journal, and Sentinel.
