The Psalmist expressed Truth in beautiful simplicity, when he said in the Twenty-third Psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." Until recent years, this was only a beautiful poetical expression to my thought; but, through a little understanding of divine Love, it is to me now a figurative statement of an eternal truth, setting forth in simplicity the relations of God to man, and man to God.
"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker G. Eddy is to me a wonderful book. It is the jewelled key that has unlocked the meaning of much of the Scriptures to my consciousness, and made practical what was formerly only theoretical.
About seven years ago we first used Christian Science treatment in our home. My wife was an invalid, not helpless but delicate, and often confined to her bed for weeks at a time by the edict of our family physician. His word was our law. Physicians in various cities had treated her for months at a time and prescribed for her for years. We always had one or more pantry shelves for drugs in boxes, bottles, and in bulk. My wife had suffered so many years, had tried so many doctors, so many remedies, and all to no avail, that she was becoming discouraged, hopeless, desperate. Christian Science treatment was suggested and, after due deliberation, was tried, and she was healed.
