A Kindly Tribute

Henry D. Janes

When the Christian Science Weekly came, clad with beauty and freshness all its own, bringing joy and peace to all who read its precious pages, I resolved to help to cherish, feed, and clothe it with purest, loving thoughts gained from the study of Science and Health by our loving Mother, Mary Baker G. Eddy. I have never seen her, but her gentle kindness for man has touched and revived within me a higher hope, and because of this I love her, and try, with God's help, to prove the power of Love by healing the sick, through the teachings of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

For nearly five years I have worked in this city, devoting all my time to Christian Science practice. Divine Love has led me in paths before unknown. I was a year and a half trying to overcome poverty, and many a day five cents' worth of crackers was all I could buy. Many times I was tempted to go back and pursue my old trade, blacksmithing, and one evening I started out to find work in order to pay that which I owed.

After going several blocks I seemed to hear a voice saying, "Where are you going? Go back!" I turned and went back to my office, and to my surprise a gentleman met me at the door with a five dollar bill in his hand to pay for one week's treatment. I took it and went into my private room, fell on my knees and gave God the praise, and promised to never doubt His loving care again. This was three and a half years ago, and since then the demand has always been met and every debt paid by looking steadfastly to divine Love as the source of all supply, knowing that God's promises are true and sure to lean upon at all times. Having understanding of Good through Christian Science, enables me to help others out of failure in business, through having the current of thought changed to an immortal foundation, the Rock—Christ. I feel this will help some brothers or sisters, still in bondage to proverty to see their was out of darkness into Light.—Henry D. Janes, Denver, Col.
