MY heart is overflowing with gratitude as I take advantage of this opportunity to tell of the many blessings which have come to me since beginning the study of Christian Science several years ago. During this time I have not only been the recipient of health and happiness, but this truth has also regulated the details of my every-day life.
I once had a false sense about work, and thought that a woman who went into the world to make her own way was no more than a waif; so I started out with this mistaken sense of my relative position to friends and strangers as well. I made no friends, and seemed to lose all those I ever had, and this, I thought, because I worked. My work was hard, and the confinement indoors seemed to impair my health. My disposition was morbid; I grew very skeptical, became restless, and desired to travel in order to find happiness. I always wanted to change my position, because the one I had seemed hard. I thought that no one treated me fairly, and that every one in the office was given more consideration than I.
In this miserable state Christian Science found me. I was working harder than ever before, and the environment was altogether, inharmonious, but as I read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, I began to gain a hope and a courage that I had never had before, while many physical disorders vanished into their native nothingness. A weak condition of the eyes disappeared before I was half through reading the text-book the first time.
