In the Old Testament we read (Isa. 42:16), "I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight."

Two years ago I was in a state of mental and physical misery, tormented by fear and an overwhelming sense of frustration. Every day was a struggle, and nights were disturbed and terrifying. I was afraid to apply for Christian Science help because of the position I then held, and I feared losing both my status and my home. Eventually, however, the conditions became so desperate that I saw very clearly that unless I turned to God unreservedly, I should not be able to continue with my daily duties. I wrote for help, and within a few days a Christian Science practitioner traveled eighty miles to see me. This act of love impressed and encouraged me, and from that time on I began to go forward. The improvement was slow, almost imperceptible at first, but treatment was continued, and I studied as much as I could. I memorized lines from the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and also from the Christian Science Hymnal and the periodicals, and when the struggle seemed severe, these were recalled and sometimes declared audibly.
