Christian Science is indeed to me a great deliverer

Merritt J. Glass

Christian Science is indeed to me a great deliverer. Since the birth of my last child light has been coming to me in almost overwhelming floods. The baby was born with very little pain, but when the child was a week old my strength seemed to leave me entirely and I was seemingly almost overcome with a terrible sense of fatigue. Looking to matter for support, I saw that all its laws were against me, as I was doing my own housework with some help from my husband and his mother. All day I labored to lift these material laws; by night I had not done so, but after reading a part of our weekly Lesson-Sermon the thought came to me strongly that God is my strength, and I decided that on the morrow I would arise and perform my duties regardless of material sense and trust in Him for strength. The next morning, even though I had slept very little through the night, I arose and began my duties, strength coming in all its fulness after the start was made.

As a family we have been wonderfully blessed with this truth since we began the study of Christian Science six years ago. I should have to write a book to tell it all; even then there would be no word great enough to express the allness of Truth. Weak eyes, stomach disorder, back trouble, nervousness, whooping-cough, financial inharmony, and other problems have been overcome by the power of Truth. Twice I have experienced instantaneous healing when the end seemed close at hand. My three children have all been born with the aid of the great Physician only. The blessing that fills my heart with gratitude is the understanding which has come of the spiritual Life, to the extent that it makes me willing to dedicate my whole existence to God.
