Mary Blanche Clay

In the midst of the present world turmoil, I am so grateful for Christian Science and all its activities that I should like to share with others something of what it has given me.

On page 1 of the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy writes, "Desire is prayer; and no loss can occur form trusting God with our desires, that they may be moulded and exalted before they take form in words and in deeds." My first answer to such prayer, although I did not recognize the fact until later, came through hearing of The Christian Science Monitor. I had been in a foreign country, away from home and friends, and was ill, lonely, and very unhappy, when I was sent to a nursing home for a so-called rest cure. One day a friend, who was the only Christian Scientist I then knew, came to see me. In conversation I said how much I wished there was a newspaper which gave news without sensationalism. She answered, "There is." Then she told me about the Monitor, and later brought me a copy.

When I first read the textbook I could make nothing of it, but I did recognize that this friend had something which others had not, and which I wanted.
