Time
has no power to steal our life away,Nor can it prison us in yesterday;Nor in tomorrow should our thoughts be bound,When in today our blessings may be found.
In a recent issue of the Christian Science Sentinel, one who contributes a testimony of healing has written: "I count among my greatest treasures membership in The Mother Church.
A librarian in a Reading Room was once asked by one who had come there to study many times why Christian Science did not heal him of an ugly growth on his face.
"To live so as to keep human consciousness in constant relation with the divine, the spiritual, and the eternal, is to individualize infinite power; and this is Christian Science.

My family and I have been blessed many times as a result of the study and application of Christian Science, discovered by and revealed in the writings of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.
In a telegram sent to Mary Baker Eddy upon the occasion of the dedication of The Mother Church, the members of this Church declared, "We have exchanged the tears of sorrow for the joy of repentance and the peace of a more righteous living, and now with blessed accord we are come, in humility, to pour out our gratitude to God and to bear witness to the abundance of salvation through His divine Christ".
In
deep humility the leper knelt,Yet with the glad expectancy of good,And we can understand his gratitudeWhen Jesus tenderly put forth his handAnd with this loving gesture comfortedThe leper—casting out all loneliness.
