I have felt that no service I can ever be called upon to perform to further the Christian Science movement is great enough to pay my debt of gratitude for what Christian Science has meant to me. But last year I had occasion to examine closely my reasons for gratitude. I was going through a trying physical experience, which had begun with symptoms of Asiatic flu and had become quite serious.

One day the Christian Science practitioner who was helping me asked, "Are you really grateful for our Leader, Mrs. Eddy?"

I replied that of course I was, but that at the moment it was rather difficult for me to think about it since I was not sure I was going to be able to take another breath. She urged me to give some thought to this point and said that the breathing would take care of itself. She said it might make it clearer if I considered gratitude from the standpoint of why I had become a Christian Scientist.
