Thinking it might be helpful to some one to read of a slow case of healing, I take pleasure in telling of mine. This was a severe case of nervous trouble, which confined me to the house part of the time; but the ailment was gradually met after four years of persistent, conscientious work. I was also healed of a chronic disease which had caused me great suffering, but which yielded more quickly. At the time I began treatment I found myself obliged to earn my living, though without health and without any knowledge of business; but having learned in our text-book, Science and Health, that both my health and my supply came from God, I labored to prove this truth. To-day I am well and financially prosperous.

I have longed many times to give a word of encouragement to those whose healing seems to be slow, and I have thought of the traveler far from home at the close of day. He could see in the dim distance a light on the hill, which he knew to be home; but to reach that home most speedily he must never turn aside to explore the surrounding country, for by so doing he must needs lose time, perhaps even lose sight of the light, and thus his progress would be slow. So it is with us all; if we but fix our gaze steadfastly on the light of Truth that beckons us on, we cannot fail to approach it and we shall reach the desired goal much sooner than if we waste our time on materiality. Healing is not slow; it is the disposition to see it as slow that makes it appear so.—Miss Sara C. Anderson, New York, N. Y.
