Letters

From the May 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Just now, as at all times, there is need of good and true work in the Cause of Christ; and where so many fields are open, there is no necessity for any to complain of lack of room. Let us all then, who have been shown the way in Truth and Love emulate the example, not only of the Divine Master, but of our dear Teacher, and go forth to battle, slaying error at all points with the sword of Truth.

He who said, "Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed," will certainly uphold with His mighty arm all who follow in His footsteps; for listen to the promise given: "Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people; and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you." Certainly the secret of success, as told in the history of great men and women of all ages, has been gained through perseverance and work.

Let those who are led through the flowery paths of ease into Doubting Castle, and the clutches of the Giant Despair, remember that the key of promise, as given by the Saviour, is always at hand; and that neither idleness nor lack of faith ever brings true happiness.
