AWAKENING

BELLE A. MUNDY.

I wish to give thanks for the beautiful thoughts that come to me in Christian Science. I used to wonder why it was that a quotation, a text, or an idea would flash into my mind at the moment of need, but I have since learned to recognize these whisperings of Truth.

One day, after receiving a treatment in Christian Science, which had been prolonged on account of the depth of gloom and despondencey in which my thought was, I remembered how as a child I had often suffered from "the terror by night." I would awaken out of a bad dream, my little hands beating the air and tears of terror coursing down my cheeks; but, just when it seemed impossible to endure the sense of fear any longer, I would find bending above me the sweet, smiling face of my mother, and hear her, laughingly, "Why, darling, there is nothing here—only mother." Without having even sought her protection, I had found mother with me. Then I thought, "So is our Father-Mother God smiling upon me and saying to my awakening thought, as it struggles out of the dream of mortal experience, There is nothing here—only Truth."

I was on my way up a steep hill, but it seemed to me as though that mountain had just rolled from my heart and lay at my feet for me to climb, and I went tripping up to the top as I had never done before, in the joyful realization of the presence of Truth and Love.
