my work on account of illness were of frequent occurrence.
For five weeks I had been under the care of a specialist

manifestations. I did not go back to the physician
until four months later to pay my bill (which, by the
way, was more than five times the price of the Science

work. I was helped, too, with my work in many other
ways.
Through reading the textbook I learned that God has
given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is
the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emulating,
vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake
fatigue and discord.
Gratitude to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy, and
to her faithful students, with whom I afterwards became
associated, can be expressed only by daily efforts
to put into practice what has been taught. - T. H. A.,
