The
following incident is offered with the hope that it may be of help to some who are young in Christian Science, enabling them to see that, even when expressed in the old phraseology, the truth may be rightly understood and accepted in Christian Science.

There
is an old saying that "charity begins at home," which in its common interpretation may be taken to mean that we should give what we have to spare to the needy ones connected with the family before seeking to bestow our gifts upon strangers.
I remember
well, when we first began to receive copies of the Journal, the Sentinel, and later the Monitor, how jealously they were guarded and filed away to be reread.
While
