To others who have felt the power of Christian Science, and have had a feeling of disappointment that those near and dear to them do not accept it, I would say, Wait, we cannot tell when the seed will spring forth. This wonderful truth, that has been brought to our understanding through the faith and purity of our loved Leader, was presented to me many times in past years, without my giving it much thought, until the dark clouds of material sense so engulfed me that I longed to be free. My life was saddened with discouragement and doubt of ever being really well after much doctoring. My home, servants, and much that was dearer to me, were one after the other taken from me. The world's beauty seemed far from me, and in my anguish I cried to God for help. I went to a friend, who took me to a Christian Scientist, and as I entered her room, I said, "I don't think I want Christian Science; no one but God can help me." The sweet woman took my hand, and with a look of great kindness said, "My dear child, that is just who you do want;" and she told me of His wonderful power to overcome all these ills. The soil that seemed so barren was full ready, and the truth found lodgment. After a few months, hope and health were restored. I have now a happy home, and the property which was lost is being regained, with the knowledge that God supplies all our needs and that there is no lack in His kingdom.

As we are faithful and obedient to the truth we are assured of God's love and care, and as the years go on our dear ones will come under the shadow of His wing.
