About
twelve years ago when I was first learning of Christian Science and how to apply it in overcoming all discordant conditions, physical and mental, I heard another student of this truth say that whenever error presented itself to her so strongly that a clear comprehension of the Lesson-Sermon or consecutive reading from the Bible or Science and Health seemed impossible, the singing of familiar hymns from the Christian Science Hymnal was resorted to, and peace was always realized.
Never
was there a time when so many prayers for protection ascended from so many loving hearts; prayers that are worded in many strange tongues but with one common purpose, and directed to one common Father who understands them all even before they are uttered.
Christian Science healing is not accomplished by any human means, nor have its teachings anything to do with the carnal mind, but it is the direct result of true prayer.
For
centuries men have believed that sickness, suffering, sorrow, and even temptation are ordained of God, or at best are allowed by Him, for the education or the disciplining of the children whom He has created, who, as we have been taught, are so frail and faulty that they are in sore need of training.
