Having
had almost continuous consciousness of health during seven years of Christian Science experience, and therefore so few demonstrations over physical errors to give, and yet desiring to add my mite to the support of our periodicals, it has become clear that the expression of an awakened and regenerated thought, is a contribution; also that as it is not difficult for a plant, nourished by the sun and dews of heaven, to bud, expand its blossoms, and throw open its heart laden with fragrance to a waiting world; so the Christian Scientist, nourished by his daily food of truth, should find no difficulty in giving to a waiting world the results of daily growth, fragrant with the perfume of Love.
