I have demonstrated the power of Truth again and again over so-called physical ills. Troubles of weak eyes, neuralgic headaches and weak constitution generally have been or are being overcome. It is, however, more for the lifting of the veil and the shifting of the scene into light, that I am grateful to Christian Science.

When I look back to a year ago I see I was an unhappy young person, though I had no reason to be so, except for a distressingly large sense of self. Morbidly conscious and sensitive. I was vaguely aware of the desire for something. I knew not exactly what, and would shed tears frequently because details made up so great a part of life, because people weren't so good as they should have been, and because God seemed so far away and so awful. I then thought that I desired an impossible world if I wanted these things different, but I see now that I wanted the only real world, divine Love's world, and that it was I, not things, which needed changing.

A Christian Scientist talked to me one day, and then sent me several numbers of the Christian Science Sentinel and the Journal. I went to one service, and almost immediately left off my glasses. Now, it seems impossible that ever I should have felt the way I did fifteen months ago. Imagine thinking life made up of details; man more evil than good; God, infinite Love, far away and awful. Things are indeed different. People, to-day, speak to me of my "good spirits," where they used to ask me, "What is the trouble?" and encourage me to "cheer up." Although my way in the truth has not been one of roses by any means, for I have had opposition and loneliness to struggle against, Christian Science has brought happiness to me as it must to all who wish to serve the only true God in "perfect love." I want to thank those who have helped me "fight the good fight," and set my feet firmly in the "way of Truth." Those who, like myself, have walked the narrow path almost alone to the place where Love need be the only Shepherd, realize what help a single hand can give, and what encouragement is found in few words.
