The Availability of Truth

C. E. M.

The practical efficiency of Christian Science in the adjustment of business difficulties is being daily testified to by thousands, and the experiences which follow are of the many which could be told.

One day a man called to ask me to give him treatment for a cold rapidly developing into congestion of the lungs. He seemed very ill and tired, and explained his weariness by saying that he had been very busy and very worried. I asked him what worried him, and in reply he told me at length of the imminent failure of his business, a manufacturing concern. He had exhausted every means known to him, but without avail. His affairs, as he related them, seemed to my woman's sense very complicated. In fact, there were at least four different concerns involved, all with differing interests, as they supposed, and each afraid of the others.

As he told his tale, I felt at first confused and overwhelmed with the complexity and hopelessness of "minds many;" but as I closed my eyes to give the treatment asked for, and tried to shut out the clamor of conflicting interests, the evil suddenly resolved itself into one fear.
