Foreign Outpost

While stationed overseas a naval officer, who described himself as a "sometime student of Christian Science," neglected his study of the Bible, the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, and the Christian Science periodicals. His thinking drifted into materialistic ways, and in consequence, he said, his experience became filled with "pride, ambition, social drinking, smoking, resentment."

His voice, clear and strong, evidenced such joyous conviction, intelligence, and kindness that the officer and his wife listened intently throughout the program.
