Help for the Sorrowing

Elizabeth Van Hoose Glover

When Christian Science was first presented to me, I scorned it, would not investigate, would not even allow it spoken of in my presence. I looked upon it as one of the many new beliefs, springing up to deceive God's elect. My sister was a loyal Christian Scientist and had been healed several years before I would investigate it. I did not come to Science for the healing for myself; my health has always been perfect. But all of my family, a husband and three children had passed away, and I had only one little one left It was then I gave up and cried out, "Save Lord, or I perish." I first commenced to read Science for relief of mind. I was so burdened with anxiety and grief that I felt I should become insane, if I did not find relief. I asked my sister to read some to me and though I did not understand it all, still I felt very much relieved. Soon after this my little girl was taken with a fever. I took her to our leader in the work here for treatment, and in a week's time she was healed. Since that time she has been perfectly well and happy.

Oh! how grateful we should all be for "the little book," "Science and Health."

Many times the way has seemed dark, but I know if I cling steadfastly to Truth, the light will appear and the way be made plain. Every day I repeat and receive so much help from that beautiful hymn, written by our dear Mother, "Shepherd Show Me How to Go."
