My Dear Friend: — Your letter was gladly received a few days ago, and it was good of you to write me what you honestly thought, for surely we cannot see all at once, and it is a growth to come into the spiritual thought when for a life long we have been educated to believe in matter and its laws as the reality, and have never had our eyes opened to the fact that God's law understood, overcomes every false material law, for it overcomes evil with good!

It seemed to revive me at the time, but a few weeks after landing I was just as bad as ever.

Dear Journal :—I have a confession to make! I have been a long time in this way, but am not "every whit whole. " How true it is that "each heart knoweth its own bitterness.

Before we get a taste of Christian Science, most of us have the same aims; we all want to reach heaven sometime, some way. We want good health, plenty of money, good clothes, good victuals,—in fact everything that is tasteful to mortal sense.
