HOME AND CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT.

AN OPEN LETTER

From the December 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"Cast thy burden on the Lord." These words are not simply in the way of advice or suggestion, but are in the line of Scientific demonstration and are definite and mandatory.

Now, when we have a burden, do we endeavor to cast it on the Lord, and learn that He demonstrates the truth and casts out error, or do we hunt up some friend or acquaintance who is working out his own problem of being in the midst of supposed difficulties, and cast it on him, thereby adding to his sense of evil which he is laboring to diminish.

If we find that we cannot scientifically cast our burden on the Lord, after an honest endeavor, we are entitled to help, and we can and will get it; but to voluntarily and unnecessarily involve someone else in a burden that we can ourselves destroy, is cowardice; it is a sin that will suffer while it continues.
