I want to express my gratitude to God, and to our dear Leader...

Leonard Rothery with contributions from Elfie M. Miles

I want to express my gratitude to God, and to our dear Leader, Mrs. Eddy, for what Christian Science has done for me. I came to Science in November, 1908, a wreck both mentally and physically according to mortal sense. years previous to this, I was taken very ill. This was thought to be due to a great sense of worry, fear, self-consciousness, and a lack of correct understanding of God, divine Principle. Until I came into Christian Science, I went almost every day to see a doctor, but instead of getting better I became worse, and to sense was gradually losing my mind. It seemed to me as if my future would be an utter failure; but "man's extremity is God's opportunity." Through a kind brother I found Christian Science, and now everything is very different. Instead of looking forward to death, I now look forward to "life eternal," and all discord is giving way to the power of Truth, as it ever must. My business also has improved. I am a musician, and I might say that I am able to play much better, having been told by friends of the marked improvement during the past year.

I am indeed very grateful for all these blessings that I have received,—grateful to God, and to our Leader for her faithful declaration of the truth. I also wish to express my appreciation for the great help that I have received from the testimonies which appear in the Sentinel and the Journal. Leonard Rothery, New York, N. Y.

When the day in somber gray is wrapt,
As if for some great sorrow,
And all the world seems waiting
For the sunshine of tomorrow,
With loving trust to Thee we turn,
In gratitude we bow,
Our thoughts with Thine we mingle,
And, lo! the sun shines now!
