It is more than ten years since I first heard of Christian Science, and during that time stubborn prejudices have slowly disappeared, mistakes have been corrected, doubts have been removed and in their place is the consciousness of God's unerring wisdom and love, and the knowledge that He is the Creator of all that is right and real and of nothing that can hurt His children.
Christian Science lessens the fear of responsibility by showing that God is absolutely just and that all He requires is that we should do our duty—do to our brother as we would he should do to us—and obey the voice of Truth, which becomes clearer and louder as we practise obedience to it.
Many years of country life prepared me for the revelation that health and happiness are not dependent upon good food, fresh air, and beautiful surroundings. A good home, kind friends, and congenial work made me keenly conscious of the ingratitude of being discontented. I was hungry for love, but I knew we must give love if we would get love, and I did not know how' to love till I learned the way in Christian Science. The way is that which Jesus revealed; the footsteps, self-sacrifice, toil, strife with all that is unlike God; and the reward, now and always, clearer glimpses of Good, God, and the certainty that, no matter how wrong things may seem to be, God is All-in-all.— Brighton, Eng.
