Dear Journal:
With most people perhaps the first step towards Truth is a desire for relief from physical suffering, which material remedies have failed to bring. The error of mortal thought reflects itself upon the body until the poor sufferer, God-driven, hails with joy the first glimmer of Truth which brings peace and rest. The true Christian Scientist stands ready to lead all such up to a consciousness of the all-power and omnipresence of God, and a realization of His love, and as they begin to see its beautiful meaning the body is restored to health and harmony.
