It is now nearly four years since I began the study of Christian Science, and during that time my feet have been led out of slippery ways and planted on the sure rock of Truth, while the comforting assurance that none can pluck us out of God's hand has become a fact to me.
From the old sense of fear (and I was afraid of everything,—sickness, sin, and a host of nameless horrors) I stand free and rejoice, because through the teachings of Christian Science I have learned that God is good, and that I cannot be separated from Him. I would join my song of thanksgiving with that which is going up to the loving Father-Mother God the whole world over, for the gift of Christian Science, and for the brave woman, Mrs. Eddy, who was courageous enough to stand for the light of Truth in the midst of darkness. I have found our text-book to be indeed a "Key to the Scriptures." I had read and wondered over the Bible all my life, but it was a sealed book to me until I began the study of it with the help of Science and Health. The light that has come is unspeakable, as well as the meaning that is revealed to me now in my reading.
Christian Science is young in Barbados,—only four years old; but we rejoice to see the truth lighting the darkness of mortal thought, as the leaven permeated the measures of meal. There are a great many here who are interested, who receive the literature gladly, and several have sent for the text-book, which they study daily.
