GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN (First Church).—Introducing Miss Lucia C. Coulson, a Christian Science lecturer, to her audience, Mrs. Mabel W. Hewitt said in part:—

Some one has said, “We are as near to heaven as we are far from self.” Freedom from bondage means the kingdom of heaven within. One of the words which Mrs. Eddy uses in “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” to define heaven is harmony. This heaven which each of us is seeking would be attainable here and now if we knew how to avail ourselves of God’s promises of love and protection and healing as given us in the Scriptures. This usable understanding of God has been gained by many through Christian Science, which has come “to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

When I was a very little girl my mother was healed through Christian Science of a supposedly incurable disease, when everything else had failed and she had been given but a short time to live. She knew then that she had found the “pearl of great price,” so precious that one would give all that he had to possess it. Since that time we have turned to Christian Science in every need and have learned to know God as our loving Father-Mother.
