Letters

A word spoken in due season, how good it is! PROVERB

From the January 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Our little boy about four years old, and our little girl about two, have never seen a drop of medicine, nor do they know what it is or what it means.

Last summer the little boy told his mamma how he had told his little sister that he felt bad. His little sister told him it was no such thing. He replied that she made the bad feeling go away, and he was all right again. Mamma put a piece of paper on the wall so that baby could show it to papa when he came home. Baby showed it to papa, and told him all about it. Stevie confirmed what she said.

I learned something on Thanksgiving Day. The boys wore masks and baby was afraid. I told one of the boys to take off the mask, and let baby see what it was. He did so, and she was satisfied and no longer afraid. This taught me a very forcible lesson in regard to truth and error.
