A LITTLE EXPERIENCE

We often hear it said in the testimonies given at our Wednesday evening meetings that Christian Science helps so much in the little things of every-day life; and I think I never realized this more clearly than in searching for a way to overcome a little difficulty which presented itself when I was in a home where there were three girls, each manifesting a strong individuality.
