Many years ago I was given a Christian Science Hymnal. I was indeed happy to receive it, because at that time I did not have the money to buy one. Since I had been somewhat interested in Christian Science during my school years, I treasured this Hymnal and loved to sing the hymns in it. I wanted to attend a Church of Christ, Scientist, and when I did, the first hymn seemed to have been chosen to mark that day in my life. It began (No. 64), "From sense to Soul my pathway lies before me."
This was during the depression years, and we had very little materially; but great love and happiness came to our little family, and every physical difficulty that presented itself to the children or to me was quickly healed. We had healings of mumps, measles, scarlet fever, influenza, colds, and effects of accidents.
I was so grateful for the teachings of Christian Science when my husband passed on suddenly. My daughters and I were left without an income and with a mortgage on the home, but we were marvelously sustained and cared for. Within a few days I had received the promise of a part-time position, had enrolled in a business college for a brief review, and had rented the greater portion of my house. Within a month I was given full-time office work.
