A traveler's guide

VALERIE B. FREELAND

Moses was faced with delays, lack of supplies, and dangers in his travels. Joseph and Mary had an accommodation problem when they traveled to Bethlehem. One of Paul's journeys was disrupted by weather conditions.

Progress in computers and airplanes has made travel easier and faster; but any traveler may confront many of the same problems faced by biblical characters. Then, how can we travel with peace of mind and an expectation of harmony?

Mrs. Eddy gives us a clear instruction that may be applied to successful travel: "I say, Be allied to the deific power, and all that is good will aid your journey, as the stars in their courses fought against Sisera. (Judges v. 20.)"^{Unity of Good, p. 17.} Christian Science explains this deific power as the omnipresent power of good, God, governing all life and action.
