Some time ago I was confronted with the fear that failure in my work was imminent. I had worked faithfully, but error tried hard to discourage me. For a day I strove earnestly to realize the allness of God and my relationship to Him, and finally the light came, with such a sense of the omnipresence and omnipotence of Love that all fear and discouragement left me, and I knew that all was right. even before mortal sense seemed to acknowledge any change. The demonstration was complete. In place of failure there was success.

To our Leader, who has given us an understanding of the truth which delivers us, and who has patiently pointed the way over many a rough place, my gratitude grows each day.—Philip S. Barto, Champaign, Ill.

One of my chief causes for gratitude to Christian Science is the help it gives in training my children. When the first little daughter came, twelve years ago, ours was a "house divided against itself," and my husband's passive indifference to Christian Science was turned into active opposition when we were called to decide as to the welfare of our little one. My own understanding was so slight and my fears were so great, that only because Christian Science was the truth, and I had acknowledged it as such, were we carried safely through those early years of trail, both physical and mental. Divine Love triumphed in every instance, and when, two years later, another little daughter came to us, I had almost no opposition or fear to meet from my husband. Three years after that, our third and last daughter was welcomed into an atmosphere of perfect trust in the power of divine Principle, which had been so thoroughly tested and proved to be unfailing in its application to every human need, that no parental fear could hold out against it.
