The Point of View

C. C.

A recent experience of mine, though perhaps insignificant, has been of great help to me, and it may help others.

A friend in pointing out the comet, spoke of its being above the lower left star of the dipper. In vain I searched and wondered why I could not see what was so apparent to others. Upon further discussion I learned that I had always viewed the dipper differently from my friend, and from the majority of those present. They saw it with the handle on the left, and I with the handle on the right. Not only was the comet immediately found after this, but the experience taught me a helpful lesson.

So often when telling my friends of some of the great truths of Christian Science that mean so much to me and seem so very clear, I wonder why they cannot see them as readily. But I forget that life has a different outlook to them, believing as they do, in life in matter, a corporeal God, a future heaven, etc. Then I see that I must be patient, and slowly and lovingly help them to see the difference between the real and the unreal which is shown us so plainly in Science and Health, so that they too may find and enjoy the many blessings brought us in that wondrous book.
