May I contribute an expression of my deepest gratitude...

LETTIE H. PFEUFFER

May I contribute an expression of my deepest gratitude for a ray of light which pierced my sense of pain while reading our Leader's late letter? I first read it in one of our Texas papers, and was deeply impressed with the one statement particularly which read, "Truth, Life, and Love will never lose their claim on me." How well I knew that was true, a demonstrated fact in Mrs. Eddy's life. Then later, upon reading in our Sentinel that "Truth, Life, and Love will never lose their claim on us," I was uplifted into a joyous sense that even I was included as God's child in that wondrous "claim" positively and assuredly.

If God claimed me, then I knew that I could not do otherwise than lay hold on eternal Life and its grand harmonies now.

Mortal mind has no power of itself to claim anything—it cannot make of non-effect God's design. To Truth all is true, then in reality I have the ability to be decisive in meeting this error, and to act as possessing all that this spiritual statement claims.

I felt the relief at once, and soon was completely free. One of the privileges I thoroughly enjoy is that of studying the Bible lessons. This has been of great help to me as an impersonal teacher, and I endeavor to apply the text, "Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
