Letter from Germany

Carola Barth

Karlsruhe, Baden, October 21, 1900.

Dear Mrs. W.:—I received the papers and the Christian Science Quarterly, and I thank you heartily for them. I study Christian Science every day; I read it early in the morning, in the evening, and during the day. I try to live in accordance with all those dear words of Light, Love, and Life. From day to day it becomes dearer to me, and I really think I never felt happier and stronger in all my life.

I have to work all day long—ten to twelve hours—at Greek and Latin. Formerly it happened very often that I was so tired after a short time that learning became an impossibility to me. I always suffered from headache, but since I began reading Science and Health I feel a new strength, and the courage to undergo all difficulties.

I think I liked Science from the very first moment I heard of it, the thoughts it expresses suit so very well my former religious conceptions. I think that only can be true religion which demonstrates itself in daily life, and elevates man to his spiritual being in God. In the papers I liked especially the articles, "To Students," "A Teacher's Experience," and the one "From the Christian Fathers." I read the beautiful words of St. Augustine over and over again. Last Sunday I read the lesson from the Quarterly and found in the combination of the verses many a beautiful and holy truth, which, until then, had been unknown to me.

I shall always thank you for all the happiness and strength which Christian Science has given me.

Affectionately yours,
Carola Barth.
