As I look back over life's human pathway and count the golden milestone from sense to Soul, my heart fills with gratitude for the many wonderful blessings received through Christian Science.

About eighteen years ago my health was failing, and I was attended with doubt and fear. My pathway seemed dark and obscure. Material remedies had failed one by one. Many loving hands reached out in a material way to help me. Some of my dearest friends predicted my passing with the next falling of the autumn leaves; but through the earnest study of the Christ, Truth, as revealed in the Bible and in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, together with the loving help of practitioners, although my progress seemed slow, I have been healed and have witnessed the beautiful autumn leaves fall these eighteen years. I learned, too, that "the blending tints of leaf and flower show the order of matter to be the order of mortal mind" (Science and Health, p. 552), and that like changing mortal beliefs they fall one by one, but that all real Life is God, infinite and supreme, "the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
