For the wonderful opportunity...

For the wonderful opportunity to learn of one's true being in Christian Science, I am daily more grateful. To know one can be reached by the tender power of God, divine Love, even in the dream of life in matter, is an amazing tiling.

I realize more than ever now, as a wife and the mother of four active children, that the lessons lovingly taught to me in the Sunday School of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, are of great importance and always will be as I continue to seek the right answers to daily problems. A happy childhood, happy school and social experiences, good friends, graduation from school with honors, and other such blessings led me to believe that I was especially favored of God and had only to snap my fingers and my every wish would come true.

However, within six months of a lovely wedding and ideal marriage, the War Department sent a telegram which stated that my husband had been killed in action. In my sorrow and bitterness, I believed that somehow God had failed me, and I could not understand why. For five years I made my way step by step, with the help of the Bible and of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, of Christian Science practitioners, and of many hours of study in Reading Rooms, gradually finding the real and separating it from the unreal. Then I met and married the one who is now my husband.
