When I look back and think of the road along which I have traveled since the time I accepted Christian Science, my heart overflows with gratitude to God for the innumerable blessings which the understanding of Truth has brought me, an understanding which gives peace even when unrest and confusion seem to surround us.
About seven years ago, Christian Science was presented to me at a time when I was earnestly trying to turn in a new direction to find a God more accessible than the one I had hitherto known. And it is the understanding of this "very present help in trouble" which has brought so many blessings to my mother and to me. We have had many healings. Influenza, serious disorders of the blood circulation, and an organic disease pronounced incurable have been overcome; and I should likewise state there has been a great improvement in a liver complaint of about fifteen years' standing.
During these last years I have been struggling against the fear of lack In spite of the difficulties of the present time I have banished all anxiety, knowing that Love supplies all our needs, and that at the right time. To achieve this result one has to lose sight of matter as substance, and no longer limit the means of subsistence by thinking it comes only from one's profession, as this obstructs the thousand channels through which the divine abundance is manifested. I was very much inclined to be melancholy and discouraged, bemoaning my fate and deploring the difficulties which confronted me. By leaning on Truth I have overcome this self pity; I am never for a minute idle or bored; and in spite of the struggles and battles against error, I hold fast the certainty that the arms of divine Love encircle me, and that there alone I find happiness and peace. I go forward with confidence, waiting on God, full of gratitude to all those who have helped me to understand this truth that makes free, and grateful also for the circumstances which have contributed to my progress in this way of light. I am deeply grateful to God, who gives us life, and with life, all good. I am also very grateful to Mrs. Eddy, the revelator of this grand truth.— Geneva, Switzerland.
