In my darkest hour what seemed to me to be all that I had and loved—my only son—was taken away. But God's angels, which are always at hand to guide us and bring us peace and security, appeared to me. In Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 581), we are given the following definition of "angels": "God's thoughts passing to man; spiritual intuitions, pure and perfect; the inspiration of goodness, purity, and immortality, counteracting all evil, sensuality, and mortality."

A kind Christian Scientist told me that divine Love would fill the emptiness of my heart, although at the time I could not see how this was possible. However, I found out that the material things which we posses cannot give us real happiness, and I turned my thoughts to God, good. I began to see plenty of good work to be done all around me, and became very much interested in church work. I persistently held each day to the truth which we learn in Christian Science, until I found myself relieved of self-pity and a depressed condition, which seemed to have thrown me into a state of mental collapse.

During this time, I was also healed of many other discordant conditions. I am so grateful for Christian Science that I cannot express enough joy for having had this wonderful truth brought into our home, and for a peace of mind I have never experienced before. I am learning each day to express more of the Christ.
