Christian
Science Testimony
HARMONY
IN THE HOME
As
one who has derived untold benefit from the study of
Christian Science, I am taking the opportunity of telling
others what it has done for me. From my earliest
recollection I was conscious of a desire, which increased
with time, to know about God and man. I turned to Christian
Science in an hour of great need, not physical but mental,
through reading a Sentinel which was given me to
burn. After reading the testimonies I thought, "Oh! if it
were true that Christ could, or would, bind up the
broken-hearted." I did not believe it, but somehow could not
let that Sentinel go, and my eyes were healed the
first day I read it. Finally I ordered a copy of Science and
Health to see if it were true, or rather to prove it false
by comparing it with the Bible, as it claimed to be the
"key" to the Scriptures. After reading the textbook I knew I
had found the truth. I wrote to a practitioner and asked for
help, and can now say that my home has been changed from
discord to harmony. Bad temper, profanity, and the desire
for strong drink have been overcome. I have learned that my
enemies were but wrong thoughts, never persons, places, or
things. I am deeply grateful for the Christian Science
literature, which is very helpful in gaining a fuller
understanding of the truth. I am thankful to God for the joy
and freedom that have come to me and mine, and grateful to
Mrs. Eddy for making the Bible an open book to me, so that I
can use and demonstrate its truth in daily
living.

I
gladly verify my wife's testimony. I would like to add that
not only was I cured of the drink habit, but of vice in
every form. Never a kind word or thought did I have for
those in the home. Thanks to Christian Science all that is
gone. Each day I am trying to let my light shine that others
may see the change.
