The sermon on Sunday was the grandest Word I ever heard spoken; and how my thought went out to all the dear ones, especially two, who had seemingly refused to come with me. I stopped my great desire with the realization, "They do hear Truth." Monday morn the word came that these two wanted to talk to me about Christian Science. They did hear the Voice, and this was the quick response. I could not see where there was going to be a moment's time that day, but the Lord always provides a way. I knew it would come about if it was best, so gave no thought to it.
To make a long story short, they gave up the theatre, coming here for the evening of their own accord. I held the thought of Love, while error tried to make a little show, at first, although nothing unpleasant was said. I beheaded the devil of argument at the very start. Science is clear statement and practice. Argument is mortal mind's hiding place. It is error, never to be indulged. Presently, Truth had the floor and my guests sat with faces full of interest. I did not shut them off abruptly, during the conversation, but showed them the way as simply as I could. I took Jesus' words in support of everything I said. It was God's work, and He did it all. I only saw, as never before, the methods of Divine Mind. I saw, too, how Love overcomes hate and pride, and I saw that the illusions, the mountains of fear and malice, were not, except as an hallucination of my own false sense. I gave them milk, just a little at a time. But the Love divine, that swept through my consciousness, illumined everything for me and for them. I know every movement was under Divine Intelligence. I can see it now, clearer than at the time.—
Lately the possibility of bringing out our human Sense of family, into scientific harmony has led to special work. I have been holding Love, with the expressed desire to erase from my sense every outline of malice between us. This belief had a special persistency in one case, because of a repeated encounter with error. While engaged in this Christianly scientific work of reconciling myself to my brother, I felt the release, and the appearance of a higher spiritual form of thought in its place. It is truly through our sense of Love that we see, feel, hear. The chapter on Christian Science and Spiritualism in the New Book had shown the way; tormenting outlines of personal belief assume shape and presence to human sense, and testify to their own reality.
