Lessons from Experience

BY FRANK DUNLAP.

My occupation is that of gardening and fruit raising. I have learned that by constant cultivation of my crops the weeds will not appear, but if I delay cultivation and let the weeds get a start, my work is much greater. Once let the weeds get well started, I can only destroy them by uprooting them.

I have learned that in the same manner we must work in Christian Science. If we keep our thoughts filled with Truth and Love, error cannot master us; but if error is allowed to take possession of our thought and is then permitted to take root and grow, we have hard work to pluck it out.

Another lesson I have learned is that work partly done, which is put off for a more convenient season, will very likely have to be all done over again. I have often found that when I have returned to complete the work I had stopped to attend to something else, the unfinished work was in worse shape than when I left it.
