Herbert M. Rose

Many years ago I walked into the office of a Christian Science practitioner and asked for help. I told him that I was in a bad condition, since I had no money and was in debt. Worst of all, I had failed in several different types of work in the past year and was very much disheartened and demoralized.

This practitioner told me that God would help me if I would just be willing to turn away from my problem and think about the truths of Christian Science. Then he spoke of the Master, Christ Jesus, and repeated his words (Matt. 6:33), "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

In the weeks that followed I was faithful in studying the Lesson-Sermons in the Christian Science Quarterly and in attending church regularly on Sunday and on Wednesday evenings. During the period immediately following my visit with the practitioner I was no better off materially and financially, but my mental outlook was vastly improved. By getting closer to God through prayer, study, and church attendance, I obtained a sense of peace and tranquillity, and I was happy while awaiting an unfoldment in my business situation.
