An expression of gratitude for Christian Science has become a necessity, the only difficulty being to make an adequate one. My blessings have been many since I began its study about twelve years ago. Some of the demonstrations of the protection of divine Love have been instantaneous, others seemingly protracted, but whenever results were not immediately seen, there has been found lurking error which needed uncovering. Whenever I have been ready to give up human will and trust the divine will, the result has always been more than satisfactory and much better than I could have planned.
There are so many splendid testimonies of physical healing that I should like to mention the overcoming of grief. I am sure that nothing but the truth could have given such comfort, such certainty that all was well in the presence of what seemed a great loss. Everything unimportant and unreal fades away at a time like that, and Truth stands revealed more clearly than ever before. The sense of separation was destroyed, and the vision I had has changed my life. Though I have had to go back to the foot of the mountain and am working up again, destroying old beliefs and self as I go, I have always ahead of me what I know will be mine when I reach the top. During the past year I have had much more reliance on Principle, consequently many more blessings; in fact, the half cannot be told.
My gratitude goes out to God, ever present Love. I am also grateful to Mrs. Eddy, whose purity of heart made it possible for Science and Health to be written. To those Christian Scientists who have so lovingly borne with me and so patiently helped me, I am more grateful than I have ever been able to show. My daily prayer is that I may be worthy to be called a Christian Scientist.— Kansas City, Mo.
