"O taste and see"
In the thirty-fourth Psalm we find these words: "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him."
Thousands who have eventually been healed through the power of prayer, as it is understood in Christian Science, have doubtless been asked at some time, "Why not try Christian Science; it has healed others, why not you?" Often this question is asked only after all material methods have proved futile, when to the affrighted and suffering one the way looks very dark and almost without hope. Over and over, "man's extremity" proves to be "God's opportunity," and men learn to taste and use His divine power, which satisfies their every need. When we answer this question wholeheartedly, "I will," we are inviting the ever-present Christ, the healing Truth, into our consciousness; we are heeding the Master's words, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
Truly there is a way out of our bondage to material existence with its so-called laws of sickness and health, birth and death, joy and sorrow, good and evil. It is the truth about God and man that makes us free, and this truth is always positive and admits no negations whatsoever.
