John S. Brown

When I turned to Christian Science, twelve years ago, it was not for physical healing. A friend explained to me in a simple way the truth as taught in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. I said, "That is what I want; that is practical." Needless to state, from that time all my supposed troubles have been handled from the standpoint of Principle. Stomach trouble, for which medical aid had been applied for thirty years and every supposed remedy taken, but without avail, was overcome through Christian Science, and there has been no return of it. The desire for smoking left me shorlty after I became interested in Christian Science, and the smell of tobacco in any form is disagreeable to me now. Being a commercial traveler and away from home much of the time, a realization of the all-presence of God brings companionship, and though seemingly alone, I am not alone, but in His presence always, and to commune with Him is my highest concept of heaven.

When traveling by automobile over steep mountain roads, fear, which sometimes creeps in, is quickly overcome with the knowledge that God is omnipresent, and that Mind alone governs.

I am trying to express my gratitude by living in harmony with the teachings of Jesus, which Mrs. Eddy has reestablished. For those messengers of Truth and Love, the Journal, Sentinel, and Monitor, I have the deepest appreciation, and consider it a privilege to pass them along to some weary wanderer, knowing that thousands have found rest and peace from their inspired pages.
