I am very grateful for the Christian Science...

From the August 1920 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I am very grateful for the Christian Science literature, which is a wonderful help along the way, and I am also trying to show my appreciation of it by placing it in receptive hands. The Monitor coming daily is a wonderful educator. I have a love for this paper which has steadily increased through reading it. The Sentinel coming each week has unceasingly inspired us to greater effort to walk the right way—the path that leads to eternal harmony. The Journal has solved many a perplexity and cleared my vision. The testimonies have encouraged us so much at all times that I would like to use this avenue for expressing my gratitude for the many blessings derived from studying Science and Health, by Mary Baker Eddy.

In a family of seven we have had no need during the past fourteen years of any but the one Physician, for God has supplied our every need. We have daily proofs of His love for His children. We have learned through Christian Science that God is Love, and this has proved to be a protection. My husband has been healed of broken arches of both feet, also blindness of one eye. The children have been healed quickly of measles, chicken pox, influenza, and other ailments. A healing for which I am very grateful was of whooping cough, which was destroyed in a few days through Christian Science treatment. I have received so many blessings from Christian Science that it would be impossible to relate them in this expression of gratitude. I was healed of neuralgia and headaches, which were constant visitors, simply through reading Science and Health, and before I had gained any understanding at all. It has been my only comforter in sorrow and has healed me of a disposition to be downhearted and unhappy. It has made me strong instead of weak, happy, hopeful, and has made me desirous of seeing others happy. I am grateful for class instruction, which has been a wonderful help and made me an avenue, in some degree, for help to others. I find as I study in the way our dear Leader pointed out that I am made strong for every attack of the enemy, and that I must be willing to part with old beliefs in order to progress. I have seen an overturning, a complete reversal of circumstances so that the right thought and understanding was manifested between employer and employee, making harmony where discord was and bringing happiness to many. Christian Science when properly applied has never failed, no matter what the need.

I am learning that, as our beloved Leader has written in "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (p. 232), "the right way wins the right of way, even the way of Truth and Love whereby all our debts are paid, mankind blessed, and God glorified.".—
