Christian Science has meant so much to me in the healing...

Edmona De Mint

Christian Science has meant so much to me in the healing of sorrow and loss that I feel I must express my gratitude in the hope that it may help others, as many earnest and sincere testimonies have helped me. Eleven years ago I was happy in the riches of this world, and in the beliefs of what I called heaven on earth. Noth that I was rich in dollars; but I was perfectly satisfied with a most kind and indulgent husband and two little daughters,—one four years old, the other six months. We had built a much talked of home, and had been settled in it just three months, when my husband passed on quite suddenly. With husband and father gone, our little business investment failed to pay dividends. Then it became necessary to sacrifice the home. Losses came on top of losses, until my only thought and prayer was that I and my little ones might be taken too, as I could not see one ray of light.

Then my health began to fail; the little babe, too, became ill. The illness of this little one aroused me to a sense of mother's duty. I began to realize I must live and minister to the needs of these children, who had been intrusted to my care. Just previous to my husband's death we had been somewhat interested in Christian Science literature; but not feeling any particular need of it, we had not given it very deep thought. Thanks be to God for one who could live Christian Science, and not merely talk it! A devoted sister kept sending the Christian Science literature to me through all those struggling days. The light dawned, and I began to emerge quietly into an understanding of God, Spirit. There have been many testing times since my absolute stand for Truth; but with faithful adherence to my highest sense of this truth, I have mastered every difficulty, sometimes through my own understanding, and many times through loving help from faithful practitioners. Just to the extent of my obedience, and in the degree of my understanding, I have been able to prove the nothingness of evil. In this right thinking I have been lifted far above mortal laws. I am learning to see perfect God, and therefore perfect man, God's reflection.

I have been changed from a delicate, fearful, timid creature to one full of health and assurance, capable of succeeding my husband in our business. I feel it is a great privilege to use this truth in the business world, where it is so much needed to-day; and through striving to live it I am finding in that degree my financial problems grow less. My once sickly little girls with the mother's freedom have also found theirs, and now they are bright, normal, healthy, and happy children.
