A Traveling Man in Christian Science

C. J. G.

It is no more than my duty to tell of a few of the blessings I have received since taking up the study of Christian Science. I have received many physical benefits for which I am truly thankful, but there are other things for which I am far more grateful. When we were led to try Christian Science for my wife, we were both in a pitiable condition physically, mentally, and spiritually. We believed we had no religion and no God, but now we are grateful to divine Love for leading us into the Truth, for it is indeed a great blessing and comforter. Through it we have received many physical benefits, and we are happy that we have found a religion whereby we can follow the command "acquaint now thyself with him [God], and be at peace." Never before have I known such peace of mind and body.

No one knows what a pleasure it is to a traveling man to attend the beautiful and helpful services, and to know that he can find such services in almost every city to which he may go. Not only can he find the meetings, which of themselves are a great blessing, but he is always among friends. I should be very ungrateful not to mention the help, the kind treatment, and the real pleasures which I have received through the friends who have made my stay in the different cities so pleasant.

When I was starting out on the road, my brother advised me to join the Masons, but I told him I had a far better thing than Masonry, and I have not yet been lacking friends, who have manifested that thought so common with all Scientists—brotherly love. When I hear the traveling men complaining that they have so little to take up their time evenings, I am more than ever thankful to our beloved Leader and all Christian Scientists that I have this Truth which gives me something to do, some new pleasure every moment.—C. J. G., Pittsburg. Pa.
