Emma Elisabeth Sherwood

For many years I have desired to share my experiences in Christian Science with others, and I feel my testimony is long overdue. Our precious textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, starts with this sentence (Pref., p vii): "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings."

I have been able to prove the truth of this statement many times. Through "leaning on the sustaining infinite" my young son and I have been divinely protected. During World War II we w are brought safely from Austria to England, where we later became British subjects. The occupying forces gave me only thirteen shillings when I left Austria, and I had my child to support. But I can truthfully say that we suffered no lack at any time. We were fed, housed, clothed, supplied, and I always had work.

When one door was shut, another one opened. I have proved beyond any doubt the truth of Mrs. Eddy's statement, which we see on the walls of many of our branch Churches of Christ, Scientist (Science and Health, p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
