There is a saying throughout Japan, "Never use the word magnificent until you have seen Nikko." After three years spent in the investigation and study of Christian Science, and the understanding, at least in some measure, of Truth and of man's unity with God, — Spirit, — I would say. "Never use the word wonderful until you have seen Christian Science." I have found
it is a very present help in trouble. During the interim of two of the severest experiences known to humanity, both chronic and acute, when the burden seemed greater than I could bear; subjected, as it were, to exile and indescribable peril, and tempest-driven, I sought shelter in Science. It has been my privilege in sickness to have the most cultured of physicians near me, but I found medicines when unmasked to be the worst of impostors, treacherous and cruel; yet in seeking I found the truth, and realized that, no matter how many foes attack us, "one, with God, is a majority." This is an age when humanity is demanding the truth on every side, in every phase and walk of life, but only the toilers in spiritual Science have an adequate conception of its immensity and omnipotence.
Christian Science came into my life as a song in the night. I find in it protection, peace, and harmony, — a longfelt want; therefore I can say that though the poet tells us "the monarch may forget the crown, that on his head an hour has been," a Christian Scientist will never forget the Founder of Christian Science. Mrs. Eddy's teachings are strictly and emphatically against hero-worship in any way. fashion, or form; hence it follows that she bears the chalice not with human hands; but as one who is enjoying the blessings of the Science which Mrs. Eddy has unveiled to suffering humanity, and feasting in her glorious literature, it does seem difficult to enter the gate without some tribute, some gratitude, some flowers.
