Exploring in depth what Christian Science is and how it heals.

My little girl often assists me in writing out the Sunday-school lessons. Last week, when we came to the verse where the woman was taken before Jesus, and he said, "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone," she said: "Mamma, I have a thought.

Romaine C———, nine years old, has a very clear understanding of Science and Health, and demonstrates both for himself and others. He was asked to give his sister a treatment for "La Grippe.
