I have much to be boundlessly grateful for through the study of Christian Science, which is daily awakening me to the futility of reliance on aught but God, and the necessity for obedience to the Scriptural injuction, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." All the happenings of one's daily experience are seen as opportunities to put into practice the understanding of the truth.
I also wish to express deep gratitude for the teachings of Christian Science, which have revealed the glorious truths of the Bible, which is indeed our guide to eternal Life, and for Mrs. Eddy's great gift to the whole world, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and all her other writings; as well as for the periodicals which she instituted as missionaries to carry the truth to all mankind. I am also very grateful for many healings, both physical and moral, especially for release from great defects of character, which were made self-evident through even a small understanding of the truth, and this understanding is daily bringing more and more blessings as it is being utilized. One of the great blessings is the love which is to be found everywhere and in every one, though in differing degrees, as one sets out to look for it. Deep gratitude is also expressed for the privilege of church membership, for class instruction, and church work, some of which is the distribution of the Christian Science literature, which is breaking down prejudice against the teachings of Christian Science and is indeed proving to be the "cup of cold water" to the thirsty wanderers in the desert of mortal belief.—(Mrs.) Alice Barringer, Hampstead, London, England.
