The much valued editorial, "Readiness to Write," which appeared in Der Herold for August, 1920, encourages me to express my gratitude for the numerous blessings which I have received through Christian Science. At the beginning of the year 1913 I was wonderfully led to Christian Science, not having previously heard of this religion. I was at that time taking a course in dressmaking in order to further improve myself in this line of work. The ability of our teacher made a wonderful impression on me, actuating me to remark one day, "You are working with a higher power than the human." After the session the teacher requested me to remain and gave me some Christian Science pamphlets to read. She was a Christian Scientist, and later recommended a kindly woman who explained Christian Science to me, and I was soon able to make practical application of what I understood of its teachings. Having passed through much trouble since childhood, it soon became clear to me that Christian Science is a divine protection against all evil, that it is the true way of Christianity.

I made wonderful progress in the understanding of God, and applied this understanding in my business to such an extent that all with whom I associated marveled at the results, and after a three months' course I myself was able to instruct classes in dressmaking successfully.

During this time I had hostilities to meet in the house where I was residing. I had spoken of this to the Christian Scientist and followed her loving advice. It cost me a great struggle, but the joy and peace of this victory were even greater. Never shall I forget what I experienced in my first demonstration. It consisted of obedience to Jesus' command: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you." My seeming enemies as well as I myself were as beings transformed. Since then I have received many new proofs of ever present Love through my broadened understanding of the truth. I have also been healed of chapped hands, and anger has been overcome.
