During the first years of my progress in Christian Science, it seemed there was one continual battle with physical conditions; but during the past year the work has been more the overcoming of inharmonious environments, destroying thoughts of poverty and lack,—the feeling that I must do without this or that, until I could demonstrate more goodness and love. The unconscious admission of my lack of goodness and love manifested itself in lack of money and lack of harmony in material conditions.

Since I have learned to destroy the thoughts of self-condemnation, and to know myself as the perfect child of God, to know that now I am supplied with all goodness, truth, and love, I have found a decided change in all conditions, and see that the only poverty or lack is our belief in the insufficiency of Love. Then oftentimes, we are too willing to do without the best, to limit God. I found this so in getting the new Science and Health. It came to me suddenly, one day, that I was doing without the new book through fear of not having money enough left to buy what I should need a month later. As soon as this thought presented itself, I started for the Reading Rooms, and purchased the book. In less than a week, one hundred dollars a years was added to my income.

I am so glad that every day I understand and appreciate more, the great Love that has enabled our dear Mother and Leader, to give us this truth. The more I am filled with Truth and Love, the better I am able to understand her life of self-sacrifice and love for all mankind.
