Letters & Conversations

I would like to share how perfectly the article "John Wesley, the Founder of Methodism, and early Protestant healing" in the Journal fit in to our Christian Science Society's outreach to our community. It seems the article was intended just for this opportunity! In late April our society received a phone call from a Methodist church in a neighboring town.

The Christian Science Sentinel The Christian Science Sentinel is a weekly magazine. has been very, very helpful to me for the past several years.

Greetings from your brothers and sisters among Christian Scientists in Rwanda. Thank you for your package containing Christian Science literature.

1. Monday , I received the letter to Mother Church members from the General Counsel.

With the help of Christian Science I have been able to understand myself as a child of God, a spiritual idea. Through this understanding I have been able to heal myself from a mental illness of psychosis which has been bothering me for the past years.

The primary purpose of this letter is to express appreciation for your column "Working with the WORD" in The Christian Science Journal. Ever since Thomas Leishman wrote the column under the titles "Bible Notes," and "Words of Current Interest," in the Christian Science Sentinel The Christian Science Sentinel is a weekly magazine.

One weekend last summer our family peace was jolted and shattered when one member announced she was having an affair with another man, and, without warning, precipitously left husband and children. Even at that moment, there was tangible evidence of divine Love's presence, and this continued to be the case as the following days unfolded.

Would it be appropriate to send this thank-you through your columns? To practitioners everywhere How does one say "Thank you" for your timeless years of knowing the actuality of man's perfect, spiritual, eternal being— and demonstrating it? How grateful I am for your cheerful, loving, steadfast knowing of the actuality of man's spiritual, eternal, perfect being— and demonstrating it! Even when I haven't called you, I've been grateful that you are there, knowing the actuality of man's eternal, perfect, spiritual being— and demonstrating it. And this has helped me to face down disease, lack, fear, accidents, temptation, and prove man's real being— perfect, eternal, spiritual— by demonstrating it.

Since July 20, 1993, the date Science and Health arrived, I have been reading my Bible Lessons daily with the help of my [copy of the Christian Science ] Quarterly . My friends love it too, and either borrow it from me to read it, or ask me for your address, which I am happy to give them.

I am writing this brief note to share my heartfelt gratitude for your work. As you can see from my return address, I am "a long way from home.
