aspires to something beyond what he now has; and the aspirations vary according to the type of individual thought, not necessarily taking form in words, but manifesting themselves in deep-seated desire.
Success

What
a wonderful story is that of David in his contest with the Philistine giant, Goliath of Gath! How we always admired David's courage in facing the enemy, who was armed with the material weapons deemed necessary for warfare, while the shepherd boy had only a sling and a few stones; but he had something besides these far greater and more powerful, unseen by the material senses—even a wonderful trust in God.
How
often in the quiet night,When sleep has fled and shadows fall,Love's angels guard with strength and might,Revealing Truth as over all;And morning sunshine, clear and bright,Finds us rejoicing in the right.

I began the study of Christian Science because I was hungry and thirsty for Truth, and the church of which I was a member did not give me what I was earnestly seeking.
Having been greatly helped and comforted for fifteen years by reading the testimonies in The Christian Science Journal and Christian Science Sentinel, I wish to add my testimony of gratitude for all that the study of Christian Science has done for me.
With a deep sense of gratitude for the wonderful truth taught in Christian Science, I wish to add my testimony of love and obedience to the Discoverer, Founder, and Leader of this great movement, Mary Baker Eddy.
