I have enjoyed so much the articles and testimonies written for our periodicals, that I think it is time for me to express my gratitude for the help received. When I first became came interested in Christian Science, about five years ago, I was very unhappy, as there seemed to be much discord in and around my home. I was so engulfed in this seeming condition that my reading of Science literature at first did not appear to bring me much relief, but finally the "still small voice" of Truth made its appeal, saying, Are you going to be a channel for error, or for Truth? Then I put forth a stronger effort to change my course, and from that moment progress was realized. Another time, when tempted to believe in the reality of evil, I declared very emphatically that I would not believe a lie about God or His creation. The error vanished, and I ascended another step in the upward path.
Recently I have had the privilege of class instruction and am very grateful for this opportunity. It was an inspiration and a joy for which I thank our dear Leader, who made it possible for us to have these classes. Another experience which has helped me to realize progress and the power of Truth was given me a short time ago. A member of my family made a remark that was not very pleasant. Formerly I would have resented the remark and probably cried over it for an hour or more; but this time my thoughts were filled with love, and I was enabled to rise above it. I saw that it was the power of Truth and Love which had given me dominion over this seeming evil, and when I acknowledged this fact to myself I experienced the peace and joy, even the "peace of God, that passeth all understanding."—Chicago, Ill.
