THE RECENT CONVERT

CASSIUS M. LOOMIS.

IF your friend is indeed a thinker—eyes open and alert—and has a heart yearning for religious insight; if he has come among the Christian Scientists honestly seeking spiritual food and facts, he should find:—

First, a people who love one another and the whole world in ways so simple and orderly that in their daily lives is realized a neighborly comradeship that lifts and never depresses. One does not have words to express this quality of interchange—like a pleasant dream, we had best not try to describe it. The love with which God illumes the face of a true Christian Scientist cannot be fathomed or described.

Second, a people who are Christian Scientists because the faith they have espoused is natural, and therefore normal. Our friend across the way may be yearning for a faith as demonstrable; he may be sincerely seeking among traditional doctrines for the key to existence. Do we scorn that brother's honest endeavors? Should not our bountiful love for him help to dispel the shadows of doubt that beset his pathway? Loving our neighbors as ourselves is truly the second greatest commandment.
