I feel that I have withheld my testimony to the healing and regenerating power of Truth long enough, and it is with an earnest and keen desire to help my brother wayfarer in the journey from sense to Soul, as I have been helped and sustained by reading the testimonies in our Christian Science literature, that I give mine.

A quiet
resting place, a haven sure,Where wanderers may come and rest secureBeneath the shadow of His mighty wing,*And listen for the song the angels sing.
