Hay fever dispelled by Love

LILA DUNKIN

As a widow with two small children, I had just remarried but was having trouble adjusting to my new life. I was depressed and even had thoughts of suicide. A neighbor came to visit one day, and I told her how hopeless I felt. She said, "You need Christian Science." She went home and returned with a pamphlet on this healing Science for me to read.

Reading the pamphlet had such a peace-giving effect on me that I wanted to know more about Science. I began to study the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly, and soon my neighbor began taking me with her to church, where I enrolled my children in Sunday School. There was a drastic change for the better in our whole family. I began putting into practice the truths I was learning of God and my relationship to Him. It was especially helpful to learn that God is Love and that since I am in reality His reflection, I express His love. This made me more loving toward all the members of my family.

At first my husband was afraid of what he thought I was taking my children into; but eventually he felt the effect of Science in our home and attended church and read the Bible Lesson with me. He also remarked, "We never had some of the troubles other families had." He realized that Science is what made the difference.
