Anne Sophie Hamilton

The first time Christian Science knocked at my door, I did not let it in, fearing in some way that its teachings were against God's will; but some years later, when it again came to me, I opened my heart wide to receive it. It was in the lovely month of June that I began studying that marvelous book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and I had a glorious time,—all was just bathing in sunshine without and within, and I longed to share my happiness with the whole world.

I cannot tell of all the blessings that came to us through reading and studying Science and Health; they were innumerable. Christian Science has conquered gout of many years' standing, theumatism, lung trouble, stomach disorder, colds, and a number of minor ailments. Every time we stuck to Truth, and to Truth alone, the victory was on our side. It has also helped us to realize supply; and during these years when everybody and everything seemed to manifest lack, we have indeed proved to be true the beautiful words of David in the twenty-third psalm, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." There has been no lack of anything, good having literally rained on us. In former days I used to fear everything, and when praying, "Thy will be done," I at the same time feared that something dreadful would happen to my loved ones; but now I know that God's will is good and only good, and as His will is ever present and omnipotent, the only good can meet us in every direction. Christian Science has indeed been my rod and my staff and has helped me through many an hour when all seemed dark as night; if I could but be still, there came always one of God's angels and pointed upward, helping me to see that in God's realm there can be no night, no fear, and no doubt, because Love is reigning there.

I am so greateful for all these blessings, and I know that if I abide in this Truth, it will help me to solve all my daily problems, thus enabling me by demonstration to prove my gratitude to God and thankfulness to Mrs. Eddy in the most effectual manner.
