A few weeks ago my husband and I spontaneously expressed thanks to each other for the precious family experiences that have given evidence of the practicality of Christian Science in our lives. Because of it, we have enjoyed many years of health and happiness. I give this testimony as one family's evidence of God's healing power.

Illness was rare among our children and quickly healed. Mischievous behavior was not a problem because from the time they were tots their intelligent acceptance of and obedience to God was natural. When the children were of school age, I read a section of the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly to them each morning before they left for school. This familiarized them with the language of the Bible and Science and Health and made departures for school remarkably calm. When they were older, they read this Lesson for themselves at a time of their own choosing.

Our son, when he was only four or five years old, made his own decision regarding attending Wednesday evening meetings. Since his older sisters attended with me, he felt left out. He handled this by going directly to his room after supper and putting on his Sunday suit. He was going too!
