"I will sing praise to my God"

FLORENCE W. SAUNDERS

An American author, amplifying a French proverb, wrote, "Gratitude is not only the memory but the homage of the heart,—rendered to God for His goodness."

The Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, awakens thought when she asks in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 3), "Are we really grateful for the good already received?" and adds, "Then we shall avail ourselves of the blessings we have, and thus be fitted to receive more."

This question and statement came with startling effect to a young student of Christian Science. Circumstances had placed her in an environment of unwonted poverty. She was in serious need of physical healing, separated from those she loved, and with but the merest pittance upon which to live. Her shabby surroundings so weighed upon her thought that she could not seem to rise above a sense of discouragement and melancholy.
