A. R. MacLellan, Jr.

I was first attracted to Christian Science about two years ago by the spirit of brotherly love which I saw manifested in the church, and after attending several meetings through idle curiosity, I found my curiosity developing into interest, and finally a desire to know more of divine Love which I heard talked on every side. I accordingly obtained a copy of Science and Health and began to read, and had only read a few pages when I became convinced that I had found something for which I had been longing and reaching out in a vague, indescribable way all my life. Since that time I have made the Bible and Science and Health a daily study.

In thinking over the benefits received from reading the Sentinel and Journal it is difficult to express the gratitude I feel for these valuable periodicals.

Many times in the working out of a problem, and when trying to realize God's allness, and seemingly overcome with a sense of discouragement, some clear Scientific thought, read perhaps weeks before, would stand out to my consciousness like a beacon light, clearing away the mists of error, and letting in the pur sunlight of Truth.

To the faithful workers in the field who are contributing such helpful thoughts to the noble work of Christian Science, it must be a satisfaction to know that their work is not in vain, and that every clear expression of Truth which is sent out finds its way to some responsive heart and helps in the grand and uplifting work of bringing God's kingdom on earth.

The Quarterly is a never-ending source of help and information in bringing out the spiritual interpretation of the Bible as given in Science and Health, and to those engaged in preparing the lessons I wish to express my gratitude for the benefits received from this branch of the work.

I believe the most acceptable thanks to Mrs. Eddy, the Founder and Leader of Christian Science, who has struggled so long for the welfare of mankind, are expressed in trying to live the truth as taught in Science and Health, and in bringing out in our daily lives the practical results of its teachings by radiating love, and helping in the destruction of error.—A.
