Until I found release from the burden of sorrow through my healing in Christian Science, I could not realize the truth of these words of our Saviour: "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. ... For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." After the passing on of my young husband I learned in divine Science of "the deathless reality of Life" (Science and Health, p. 487); also that Life, Truth, and Love are the divine reality, while sin, sickness, and death are the unreality, the evidence of which Jesus destroyed through his spiritual understanding of being and its laws. The Comforter has come, "even the Spirit of truth," to my consciousness, and I am most of all grateful for this spiritual uplift. Through the application of the truth I have been healed of severe headaches, to which I had been subject all my life. For all who must cope with business conditions and problems I want to testify that the truth, when rightly applied, always opens the way, and divine intelligence will direct us aright, no matter what our problem may be. I am indeed thankful for Christian Science, and grateful to our Leader, who through love and self-sacrifice has again brought the light to darkened human sense. It is our blessed privilege in this age to know that, whatever the condition to mortal sense, Christ, Truth, will lead us into health, harmony, and happiness.
