Dear Journal:—In a former number of the Journal appeared an article asking all Scientists to insert their cards, if only for the benefit of travellers far from home, in belief of trouble or sickness. At the time, I thought immediately to comply; but feeling that I might seem to be farther advanced in the work than I really am; also knowing others here who have demonstrated Truth in so much higher degree, yet who do not advertise, I neglected to do so. I have recently had the matter come home to me. A member of my family took a trip East. Before the departure, I tried to give the address of some Scientist in each place to be visited, of which Lockport, N. Y., was one. For this city I could find no card whatever. The stay there was limited, but just long enough to find near train time that there were quite a number of Scientists living there. Of course this brought the case very close home to me.
If we are true Scientists, we will certainly correct in ourselves whatever in others we find is not fulfilling the law of Love, or unity of thought and action; so please at once insert a card for me.
We very much need a Normal Graduate here, as there is not nor has been one in our little city of 17,000 inhabitants. However, we hope our realization of the ever-present Truth may avail soon, as in a few instances there now seems to be a turning back; but we hope it will all be light to us. I hope others may soon learn, as I have, that small or great the amount, it pays in a larger degree to invest for the cause of Truth, than for any other. All my late prosperity I owe to the realization of the Allness of the Providence of Good, and of the absurdity of claiming anything as my own; for all is all and all that I have that is good is from Him. Then why should we boast, or hold back from Good.
