It would require a book to tell of all the blessings that have unfolded to me and my family since we began studying Christian Science several years ago. I submit the following proofs of God's loving care in the hope that it may help others to avail themselves of the sacred privilege of understanding Truth.

My family and I spent a year in a small town on the west coast of Alaska. The town was noted for the drunkenness in it. Our house faced a street at the foot of which was a liquor bar, and for weeks our view included scenes of drunkenness. I accepted these scenes without giving them much thought beyond an occasional one of disgust until one day, while watching the antics of a man who had emerged from the bar, I realized that I was bearing false witness against my neighbor.

Turning away and silently declaring the perfection of man as God's spiritual child, I resolved constantly to see man as he really is. In holding to the truth I had to cling to the idea of man's perfection in all ways. This corrected view dissolved irritability and many other undesirable traits of character that I had manifested.
