Perseverance Pays Off

CARROLL W. NEWPORT

One year when our family took a vacation, we backpacked for seven days, encountering obstacles unthought of. But throughout that experience, and what I'm reminded of today, was an incomparable view that was only achieved by our willingness to put out the extra effort required. The beautiful sight that awaited us as we reached our goal rewarded us fully, and it will always be a treasured memory.

We can liken that experience to the perseverance required for spiritualizing human consciousness—that is, lifting thought above the false beliefs of life in matter—which is so essential in bringing about healing in Christian Science.
