CONQUERING PERSONAL DESIRES

Few of us, perhaps, realize to what extent our desires shape our careers.

TRUTH'S CALL

However much the realities of being may be obscured to mortal sight by the dust and rubbish of tradition and illusion, it cannot be questioned that there is consciously present with every one some apprehension of and longing for Truth for its own sake,—a willingness, a desire, more or less clearly defined, to be guided and controlled by Truth.

On several occasions I have been asked to give my reasons for leaving the Congregational church and its ministry in order to take up Christian Science.
There has been a great deal of talk lately about medical freedom, and people wonder what it is.
In a recent issue of the Citizen, under the healing of "The Theosophical Society," there is a reference to Christian Science which I am sure you will allow me to correct.
