Christian Science a Welcome Guest

Ella Engwall

When I heard for the first time that Mind was God, that we lived in Mind and were not bound to live after the flesh, to me the veil of the temple seemed rent, and as I stepped out to the treet, and saw the people hurrying back and forth, looking for something—always hurrying, always looking—I thought, If I could only tell them how near God seemed, and what gladness the world reflected.

My ill health was forgotten and the promised land looked very near. I did not know at that time of the valley of humility, of the hills of pride and selfishness, or of the narrow path of patience and honest perseverance that leads through the undergrowth.
