With this testimony I wish to express my deep gratitude for the successful solution through Christian Science of the problem of lack.

A few years ago, during World War II, the question of supply in our family became so acute that absolute poverty seemed inevitable. At that time I had been studying the teachings of Christian Science for only a short while, and yet it had become immediately apparent to me how extremely helpful this teaching could be, especially in times of very great distress. The assuring words in the Preface to Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. vii), "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings," helped me to decide to rely wholly on Christian Science.

My first experiences seemed hard. On page 22 of Science and Health Mrs. Eddy says, "Love is not hasty to deliver us from temptation, for Love means that we shall be tried and purified." However, through the earnest study of the Bible and Science and Health, I found the way growing constantly lighter. I experienced many blessings and learned to see that divine Love supplies us with infinite abundance. With progress came the recognition that Spirit is our true source of supply and that man, made in the image and likeness of God, must be acknowledged and reflected in daily life. With this recognition our problem of supply was solved in a beautiful way.
