Evil Habits Overcome

J. R. M. with contributions from John Ruskin

We study the Lesson Sermon every Sunday. We have two copies of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," one each of "Miscellaneous Writings," "No and Yes," "Rudimental Divine Science," "Retrospection and Introspection," and "Unity of Good," and we take the Sentinel. There are no believers in Christian Science but our own little family and Miss F. We are opposed on every side (in belief); but we know that "one with God is a majority." I have in my family too often seen Christian Science proven to be the Word of God for me to give it up.

In three months' reading of Science and Health I was healed of chewing and smoking tobacco, which habits I had indulged for thirty years. I have been able to overcome other troubles, such as cold, burn, and the grip. I often think where I was before Christian Science came to our home. It was medicine and doctors all the time. The children repeat the little prayer every night, and my wife reads to them every day from the Bible and Science and Health.—J. R. M., Baltimore, Md.
