In Isaiah we read, "I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them and not forsake them." To me these promises are being fulfilled. For several years, I had been pursued by the fear of ultimate helpessness from rheumatism, and when all material remedies failed, I sought relief in Christian Science, not realizing how much greater was my need of spiritual healing.

As progress was made in the study of this Science, I found that all thought gives an account of itself,—is manifested or expressed,—the good after its kind, the evil after its kind, and that if I would banish pain, and have freedom of action, instead of looking to the body and outside agencies for relief, it must be sought in the mental realm, and that only as I learned to think aright could I hope for improved physical conditions. So, as I look back, I no longer wonder that an entire year went by before I could say, as did the Psalmist, "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me," for it was truth alone, that probed "the self-inflicted wounds of selfishness, malice, envy, and hate" (Science and Health, p. 462), that enabled me to realize that "sorrow is not the master of joy" (p. 304), and that in all God's fair universe there is nothing to disturb or to make afraid. I am happy to express my gratitude for this healing truth which, in so far as we understand and apply, it, does indeed replace discord with harmony,—A. S. W., Chicago, III.
