Our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, writes (Science and Health, p. 266): "Would existence without personal friends be to you a blank? Then the time will come when you will be solitary, left without sympathy; but this seeming vacuum is already filled with divine Love." It is with much gratitude that I can witness to the profound truth contained in this passage.

At a period when I was enjoying all the pleasures of a comfortable material existence, a blow fell which, with sudden effect, removed all my worldly possessions, including a good position and a fine home. To add to this misfortune, my wife became ill, and our baby daughter was taken to her grandparents' home for care.

Each afternoon it was necessary for me to walk some distance, and my way led me past a Christian Science Reading Room. The invitation in the window, which extended to all the free use of this room, attracted me as a kind of halfway resting place in my walk. Here the truth contained in the statement I have quoted above was unfolded to me through my study of the Christian Science literature, and although unknown to me at the time, the "seeming vacuum" was already being filled.
