Prayer Answered

B. P. H.

For several years I have been a student of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," but there was one point that was never settled satisfactorily. A few days ago I went to see a Christian Science friend, and about the first thing she said to me was, "Do you take the Journal?" I was ashamed to say no, knowing as I did that she was a poor woman with scarcely any income, while I am young and strong, with a good trade. But mortal mind had been saying to me all the time, "You cannot afford it. You have Science and Health and that is enough.

My friend brought out the July Journal and said I could take it. After reading it that evening the thought came to me that I had the price and could afford anything that is good, so I determined to order both the Journal and Sentinel. The next morning as I was on my way to the postoffice with my order I met a man who gave me a job of work. Before night I took another, and now I have so much work on hand I have to hire a man to help me.

Jesus said if we sacrifice our material goods we shall receive a hundredfold more in this present time, and in time to come eternal life. In about one week my Journal came and in it came the answer to my long studied problem, by William R. Rathvon, "The Practitioner in Business." If we seek desiring to know the Truth and sacrifice according to our knowledge and our efforts are crowned with success, is not this Prayer answered?
