Doing, Not Trying!

ELEANOR SHIPMAN MINER

"The longest journey begins with a single step." I was reminded of this old saying while I was in a Christian Science practitioner's office. Her telephone rang, and in the brief conversation that followed she remarked, "Now, dear, we are not trying to demonstrate the truth; we are demonstrating it!"

After I left the office, the words of the practitioner kept coming back to me with renewed interest. I realized that however protracted the journey from the material sense of existence to Soul, God, every spiritually mental footstep the individual takes is both necessary and effective in bringing him nearer his final goal.
