Beulah G. Hines

Christian Science found me in a most miserable condition physically, and mentally in despair. My husband and baby had gone from me within a year, and after that came such a physical collapse that I had to be carried in the arms for successive weeks during a period of eight long, weary months. Everything that man could do was done, and still no help came. During all this season of darkness my heart longed for God, and although prayer after prayer seemed to meet with no response, I continued to pray. I knew there was a God somewhere, and somehow I felt that He knew about me; so I prayed on and on, with just as much courage and faith in finding Him, as if every prayer had been directly answered. Everything else failed me. At this time Christian Science came, and I learned that every prayer had been answered, and God was now revealed. Health and strength came rapidly, hope awoke again, and with these came a love for God and love for my fellow-beings that I had never felt before. I knew it was the Christ who had come to heal my grief-stricken heart, and had rolled away the stone from the grave of my loved ones. Ever since this revelation of Truth came to me, I have thought of them as they are—not in the grave, but living in God, just as I am living in Him.

We should never cease to be grateful for the ability to understand the unfoldings of divine Love. I have learned to love God through Christian Science, and to love the noble woman who discovered it. I love the work, because it is a joy to prove that God is ever-present Love, and because I have seen the truth taken to many dark places, leaving them illumined with light. Can we ever be grateful enough to Mrs. Eddy, that patient, God-like woman, so pure that the light had to shine through her consciousness, and who is teaching us how to live and to follow the example of the Master?—Beulah G.
