HOME is described by our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, on page 58 of her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," as "the dearest spot on earth." But are there not many to-day who feel that certain radical changes would have to take place before they could truly call their home "the dearest spot on earth"?
Perhaps one individual feels that he has no home, no family; another longs for a more pretentious dwelling or furnishings more to his taste, and in his present surroundings sees little to rejoice over. Still another faces what seems to be a stern, unyielding condition of lack or limitation, or else a discordant condition of family relationships which, he may say, makes life hardly worth living. As a remedy, so-called mortal mind may urge an abrupt tearing away from the scene or the forcible severing of human ties as a means of securing peace. Indeed, it may even argue that this particular set of conditions is too extreme or of too long duration ever to be adjusted.
How grateful one should be at such a time for the comforting message of Christian Science, which comes as the light shining in darkness, assuring each suffering one that "with God all things are possible;" that each one here and now may find his real home through the correct understanding of what home really is!
