When I commenced to study music, my teacher drilled me in a certain method. After a few years I grew dissatisfied with my progress and went to another teacher. I was asked to play, and after a few moments he stopped me with the remark that my method was wrong, and showed me the correct way.
I went home discouraged, for I felt that a good deal of work would have to be undone; but I thought, "I will start again as though I were a little child and make the old way as though it never existed." I worked faithfully and I remember, my teacher expressed surprise and pleasure at my progress when I went for the next lesson.
Now it seems to me that this is a great deal like the way in Christian Science. We become dissatisfied with our way of living, — with sickness, sin, and sorrow, — and if we go to a true Christian Scientist for help, we find that our method was wrong and are shown the correct way: and if we will but start as a little child to understand and practise this way, the old method will be as though it never existed, and we shall rejoice in health, happiness, and love to all.—G. T. P., Forest Hills, Mass.
