The fifteenth number of Der Christian Science Herold has arrived, and is a welcome guest. I know that I should have expressed my gratitude long ago for the innumerable blessings we have received.

June is called the month of roses, and I have always loved it because it brings my favorite flower, and June, 1985, brought me the rose from paradise; its steam, flower, and leaves tell of Truth, Life, and Love; they never fade, but unfold more beautifully as time passes on. This flower is Christian Science.

When I heard of it for the first time, the prophecy of Amos was fulfilled in me: "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord." Through an understanding of the word of God, a neighbour was able to heal me of heart disease with which I had been afflicted for ten years. At the same time, I was freed from the discouraging belief that God had sent me my suffering to draw me to Him. I now feel drawn to God with all my heart, yet not through disease but through the daily study of the Bible, and Science and Health which elucidates the Scriptures. I have always had a great longing for something better, and this, Christian Science has brought to me. There is no question about Life which is not finally answered through the faithful study of the Bible and Science and Health.
