It is over ten years since I expressed gratitude for Christian Science by way of our periodicals. I am happy to have this opportunity to give thanks again for Christian Science and to God for His loving care and protection during the sixteen years we have been privileged to study this wonderful truth. It is the greatest blessing that has come into our home. Every problem that we have had to meet has disappeared under the light of Truth, proving to us that if we are faithful and obedient, and do our part, God will do His. The greatest blessing has been the spiritual uplifting. When quite young I asked the question, "What is God?" and was told I should not ask such questions. I never found the answer until I began the study of Christian Science, and it was a great revelation to me to learn that God is Love, Life, Truth, and that He does not send sickness or discord to anyone. It was a great awakening, just like being in a new world. I had found the "pearl of great price," and I want to go on learning more of God who is Love, "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases."
The privilege of class instruction was a very helpful and happy experience. My taking some part in the Christian Science activities and belonging to The Mother Church and a branch church are among my many blessings. We are many miles from a church, but have services in our home every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening, and feel that we are a part of that great multitude all over the world who are listening to the same Lesson-Sermon. We are grateful for the growth of our Cause here and everywhere.
I should like to express gratitude for our new Hymnal. It is a great treasure. Every line in the hymns contains a healing message. They are truly songs of deliverance. We are grateful for every activity of the Christian Science movement, especially the literature, with its messages of encouragement and enlightenment.
