My reasons for expressing gratitude for Christian Science are more than can be numbered.
For the healing of sorrow and self-pity after the passing on of a loved one and for the physical healing that delivered me from the belief that I must pass on, I am especially grateful, because they led to my continued study of Christian Science, which enables me daily to work out my own salvation and to help others.
I should like to mention one healing. My family, who are not students of Christian Science, were notified that my younger brother had given his life for his country at Iwo Jima during the recent war. I was some five hundred miles from home, and at first, feeling that I was sustained through the study and application of the truths in Christian Science, I did not plan to go home. However, the following day I was led to make preparation to go, knowing it was the loving thing to do. I called a Christian Science practitioner and asked for treatment, that I might help heal the sorrow in my home.
