read in the fifteenth chapter of Matthew's Gospel that Jesus, beholding the multitudes that had come to him in the wilderness, said to his disciples, "I have compassion on the multitude,.
Let
me remember the multitude of thy mercies, O God:The many pleasant ways Thy love has brought me,When sense would say 'twas but a desert place;The many wondrous things Thy law has taught meOf Principle and its redeeming grace!Let me recall the depth of consolation,When, after mighty wrestlings through the night,There waited on the mount of revelationA sacred stillness and transfiguring light,Through which was seen Thy changeless love enfoldingThe universe and Thine own image, man,Thy law omnipotent forever holdingEach little one within Thy holy plan.

Fourteen years ago, after an accident in which my right shoulder was injured, I was told by the doctors that an operation would be necessary before I could have the use of that arm, which was hanging helpless.
With gladness do I bear witness to one of the many wonderful experiences which have ineffably enriched me since I began to follow the teachings of Christian Science.
Profound gratitude impels me to join in the pæan of praise, voiced in our periodicals, for blessings received through an understanding of the teachings of our Master, Christ Jesus—an understanding made possible through the great work of Mary Baker Eddy.
Now that about thirteen years have passed since I first became a student of Christian Science I wish to testify to my increasing appreciation of what it has done for me and is doing for all mankind.
It is now nineteen years since I first turned to Christian Science in an hour of great need, and received my first healings from many inharmonies, both mental and physical.
In reviewing my steps since coming into Christian Science, I feel moved to express through the periodicals my gratitude for healing and protection received through the Christ, Truth, which leads us onward from sense to Soul.
God
help me as a little child of ThineThy kingdom to discern—Thy plan divine!Let singleness of heart guide thought aright,Let me behold the real through truth's clear light.
