Dear Journal: For a long time we had a Christian Science Association, to the meetings of which some came to get up the lesson for the regular church Sunday school. The children, however, had no chance to learn. At last we invited them to meet at our home on Sundays. Eight came the first Sunday and nine the next, and we hope the number will increase. We open the class by repeating the Lord's Prayer in the spiritual sense, and with explanations of it. Next we catechise from the chapter "Recapitulation," in Science and Health, making our teaching very simple. Then we take up the next Sunday's lesson from the Berean leaves, so that the first impressions are given from a Christian Science standpoint. This is a small beginning, but I believe we should never be tired of sowing for others to reap. We shall thus attain to a higher plane, so that the children may reflect only that which is pure from their teachers. This is my constant prayer for my little class.— Lawrence, Mass
