I have found the Christianly scientific way of living, as revealed to us by Mrs, Eddy, to be a blessed and fruitful way. Another life, otherwise barren, has been made happy and harmonious through the application of this new-old truth.

Among many blessings earned is a changed disposition, and from being disagreeable, I have found how to love and to live love.

Through disobedience to Truth, I thought a separation from my wife was necessary. After nearly a year, I realized the futility of such a step, for we are taught that all difficulties must be faced and a solution arrived at whereby the error, or evil, is destroyed by Love. Mrs. Eddy's statement (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 59, 60), "Separation never should take place, and it never would, if both husband and wife were genuine Christian Scientists," was a truth that I could not disregard. I saw that since I had taken the marriage vow, it was my responsibility to perform my obligations properly and lovingly, especially since we had a child. Working from this standpoint, we soon reestablished our home; and now, after four years, we appreciate anew the meaning of home, and our mutual growth in the truth is bearing much fruit.
