The following little demonstration has been so helpful to me that I am sending it, because it will be a help to me to acknowledge the benefit received from the Sentinel and Journal. In the place where I am at present there are no other Christian Scientists. It was quite easy to hold the Sunday service alone, but there seemed at first no way of holding a testimony meeting. By realizing God as the source of supply the way was opened,—the testimonies and helpful thoughts in the Sentinel and Journal are a rich supply for the time given in our meetings for demonstrations. But even this did not satisfy, for I seemed to have little part in it myself. There was no opportunity to tell of my demonstrations. I then remembered two other Scientists who were also alone, and I tried the plan of writing out my demonstrations for their meeting. This has greatly increased the help derived from the service, and from some of them there have been the "signs following." On these Wednesday evenings the consciousness of ever-present Love has been so clear, that at times the little room seemed illumined with the divine presence, until one evening, I realized that, like Abraham, I was entertaining angels unawares. Who could feel alone with such glorious thoughts for guests. Sometimes the feast seems too great for only one, and I long to share it, and when enough of the heavenly manna is realized God will supply the guest to partake of it.—Ruby A.
