With the greatest joy I wish to express my gratitude for Christian Science and all that it has brought into my life, which is being transformed by Truth.

Some years ago I believed that evil was really a power—that it was stronger than good. I was deep in the night of materiality; and oscillating like a pendulum between Truth and error, I could not enjoy what I had. This sorry state of thought brought very sad experiences into my life, but then I awoke and began to study Christian Science with joy and consecration. My father had been studying this Science for a long time, but I thought that it could be of no help to me until one day I saw that "man's extremity is God's opportunity." I had many struggles, for it was necessary to uproot my belief in matter and its laws. I had to learn to see myself and those around me as God sees us, and that means a battle with false beliefs. Fortunately, the wisdom of our Leader has provided that the weak in spirit may be helped by the strong; and it is natural for us, wherever we may be, to turn to practitioners who devote themselves lovingly to those who seek the light. I can say that whenever I have asked God humbly to give me light on a problem which presented itself to me, I have received the right answer in due time.

Certain of the healing through Christian Science have been instantaneous, including those of backaches, headaches, and hoarseness; others have called for deeper study, greater consecration, a more faithful adherence to the truth of being, but victory always followed the struggle. May those who seem to have struggled with error for a long time rest in the absolute consciousness of good, of Love, where, as our Leader tells us in "Retrospection and Introspection" (p. 73), "sensible evil is lost in supersensible good."
