I would like to express my gratitude through the pages of the Journal for the great privilege of being, or of trying to be, a Christian Scientist. Although the way has been uphill and the struggles with self very severe, I am finding that in proportion as I love the truth, and try to bring it into my daily life, and live it instead of talk it, the way grows more and more beautiful, and the cross melts into the crown.
Recently, while on a trip to Key West and Tampa, Fla., I found the help of Christian Science invaluable as a preventive for seasickness, with all its attendant miseries. No one but those who find themselves strangers in a strange land can appreciate the joy of meeting fellow Scientists, and of sharing with them the comforting and inspiring services of the Science churches. Another help came in finding Christian Science literature on the table of the ladies' reading room in one of the leading hotels in New Orleans. This was an unexpected joy, and many a restful hour was spent in reading the helpful articles in the Journal and Sentinel.
Surely Christian Science is leavening the world of thought, and melting away the dross of materiality so that the true image and likeness of God may appear. I pray that I may be able to be a channel, however small, for Truth to work through, and that in some degree, even if it is in giving just a crumb to the little ones, I may help on the cause of Christian Science.— Denver, Col.
