My coming into Christian Science was like stepping from a dark and gloomy room into a sunlit garden. Although living in a strange country more than three thousand miles from my childhood home and family, I have never known homesickness or been without loving friends who have made me feel I belong to a large and wonderful family, the family of God's ideas.
My first healing was of resentment. It came through my simple refusal to contemplate the mortal mind story and through my turning to the true picture of the man God has made—loving, understanding, good, and intelligent. In thirty minutes there was a manifestation of tenderness and kindness from the same person I had been thinking of as unloving. Later a loved child in my care was healed overnight of fever and intestinal trouble.
When I came to this country nearly twenty years ago I had a small debt. It was soon repaid, for when I found Science I began to seek the kingdom of God, and all things needful were supplied in abundance. I have never lacked employment. Even at a time when it appeared that there would be no opportunities in my line of work for months ahead, a new and better position was found which blessed all concerned, In this unfoldment, as in many others, it was necessary for me to discard all human advice and listen only to God.
