Some four years ago when in great need of some steady rock to anchor to I found my need supplied, indeed, in the study of Christian Science. Happy day! The world war necessitated the departure to the battle fields of both my sons and husband, and I went out as a hired servant, but health that was never good and headaches of violent character claimed me as their own. It was then I found the "Pearl of great price," and also acquired as a future home a cottage in a village where no one took the least interest in Christian Science. At first this seemed a great hardship and even a drawback to my trying to understand what I read, but soon, even before I did understand, I became quite well, lost all the headaches and hosts of other ills, and loneliness lost all meaning for me. I did all the housework and the work of a large garden without help and never felt tired or ill. But very often I deeply regretted not being able to attend a church or society or Wednesday evening meeting, but in all the spare hours I studied and studied. I can't find words to tell how greatly I was helped all the time by our periodicals. To this very day they are indeed to me real friends. They came like friendly voices in a strange land, and especially that splendid Monitor. I especially give thanks to our Leader for that paper and for all it means to us all. After three years of study I had the privilege of class teaching, and then I knew what had seemed to me to be a great hardship was not, for I found I understood clearly what I had learned alone. I am indeed grateful for the untold blessing of Christian Science.—(Mrs.) Ellen R. Hemsley, Crick, Nr. Rugby, England.
