I have been studying Christian Science for about eight years, and the farther I go the brighter grows the way. I did not come to Science for physical healing, though I have received it many times; but far greater than all else has been my healing of sin in nearly all its seeming forms of hate, anger, revenge, jealousy, falsehood and so on; now, thanks be to God, I can say, that in place of hate there is love, in place of a lie there is truth, and I find myself always happy when I live up to my understanding. My path has not been through flowers but thorns, and yet all has been for my good, for as Paul says they that are without chastisements are bastards and not sons, so I rejoice in tribulations. I am the only Christian Scientist here, but some are interested. One young man reads the Lesson—Sermon with me every Sunday.

I have had so many proofs of God's care that I feel like saying with David "how wonderful are thy works. O God." I find much comfort in the Journal and Sentinel. My daily prayer is that I may be more worthy of the name, Christian Scientist.—Wm. Galvin, Prineville, Oregon.
