NOTES FROM THE FIELD

From the May 1894 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Journal:— You ask for instances of slow demonstrations and I think my experiences have been slow enough to encourage the slowest. I always hated to wait. I thought when I first came into Christian Science nearly three years ago, that I should preach the gospel and heal the sick without delay, and during the first few months many claims did vanish.

A year ago I studied and though the voice that spoke to me then told of the glory that should be revealed, it also told of the Red Sea and the Wilderness, but I had to learn by experience that only through obedience and patient waiting could the way to* Harmony be found.

With the exception of two short visits I have not seen a Scientist for ten months, and no one here seems to care about the good news yet. Claims that had formerly been vanished or hidden by will-power, persistently dogged my steps as if they knew I could no longer put them to flight with carnal weapons.
