In Luke, Jesus is recorded as saying...

From the February 1938 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In Luke, Jesus is recorded as saying of a certain woman, "Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little." Having received many blessings, too numerous to mention, through the study of Christian Science during the past fifteen years, I give this testimony. The desire that it will help and encourage others even as I have been helped, goes with it. I can truly say I owe much, more than words can express, to Christian Science.

I am grateful for the overcoming of intense fear that engulfed me during a time of great darkness, when I was on the verge of a so-called nervous breakdown and everything seemed to have been swept away; and for guidance and protection during a period of transition and seeming injustice in the loss of a home, on which much love and work had been put. Divine Love provided another home when mortal mind argued that such a thing was impossible, proving that, as our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, states, "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, p. 494). I am sincerely grateful also for the demonstration of needed supply.

I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church and in a Christian Science Society. This has truly proved a rock to rest on in the night, and a guide during the day. Some problems have been met instantaneously, others have needed much patience, but all have been solved when the truth has been properly applied. Mrs. Eddy points out in Science and Health (p. 11) that "divine Principle never pardons our sins or mistakes till they are corrected." The proof of this is indeed a big blessing.
