Living quarters found; baby healed of croup

Genevieve D. Taylor

Christian Science is the greatest blessing that has come into my life.

While we were living in a crowded coast city during the First World War, the house in which we were living was sold, and we were told that the new owner wished to take possession in thirty days. Though every possible effort was made to find other living accommodations, none seemed available. A week after the sale the buyer began making frequent and impatient inquiries about our prospects for moving. With an infant daughter to care for and my husband at his work in a near-by city throughout the day, I became increasingly upset by these visits.

One day, being greatly disturbed after listening to the owner's demands, I sat down to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, with the realization that only God could help us. This statement from page 206 was all I read: "In the scientific relation of God to man, we find that whatever blesses one blesses all, as Jesus showed with the loaves and the fishes,—Spirit, not matter, being the source of supply." That portion of the statement, "whatever blesses one blesses all," arrested my attention. It came to me that if this house was to be a blessing to this woman and her young daughter, there would be no deprivation, but a blessing for us too. With the acceptance of this idea, all anxiety and resentment vanished.
