"Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered." The many blessings I have received through the study and application of Christian Science "are more than can be numbered." I have experienced an entire change in my manner of living. The purifying effects of Christian Science have made me more loving, honest, and tolerant. A better understanding of the First Commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," has enabled me to overcome many false beliefs in a power opposed to God.

The hardest experience for me to rise above was the passing on of an infant son. I could not seem to remove the phases of this experience from my thought, no matter how much I declared the truth. Mesmeric sympathy and self-condemnation tried to keep me in mental darkness for many months afterwards. Error also attempted to shatter my faith in Christian Science, but I held on to the hand of God, knowing that nothing but Science could really bring me true happiness, and gradually the sunshine of His love dispelled all the gloomy, morbid beliefs of the carnal mind and set me free.

During this time, I remember reading an article in the Christian Science Sentinel entitled "After the Storm." The honest desire to be free from the darkness of mortal mind, and to trust in Christian Science only, came to me more forcibly when I finished reading this article. One part that stood out as a beacon light was the thought that I should not only make the demonstration over grief, but keep sweet about it. It surely seemed as though the spiritual quality of sweetness was something I had difficulty in expressing at that time, but I was truly grateful for the light shed upon my thought by the reading of this article.
