From the January 1963 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Over the forty years during which I have been studying Christian Science I have had definite proof that the law of God is always in operation. In the degree that I have confidently placed myself and my affairs under His law, my problems have been solved harmoniously. I have been greatly blessed as I have endeavored to do as Mrs. Eddy did each morning. A writer in "We Knew Mary Baker Eddy," Third Series, says (p. 42): "On one occasion Mrs. Eddy said to me, in substance, 'The first thing I do in the morning when I awake is to declare I shall have no other mind before divine Mind, and become fully conscious of this, and adhere to it throughout the entire day; then the evil cannot touch me.' Many times she said to me, 'All my hours are His.'" She knew that a complete acknowledgment and understanding of God, Mind, fully protect from all evil.

One of the most trying experiences I have had to go through took place when my husband passed on, and I found myself living alone, several miles from town, in an eight-room, ranch-type home.

I am grateful to my family and to very kind friends and neighbors who did much for me in my hour of need. I was encouraged and sustained by divine Love. The truth of a line from Hymn No. 64 in the Christian Science Hymnal was very evident. It tells us, "The loveliness of Love is all around."
