In our practice of Christian Science, the children furnish unmistakable evidence of the identity of our Leader's teaching with that of Jesus. It will be remembered by those of the last primary class of the Mass. Metaphysical College, that a question of this import came up near the close of the session: "How can one rid himself of the belief of matter as reality, when circumstances surround us continually with the sense-picture of suffering and disease, and duty holds us there?"
The reply in substance was this: "I would say for myself, it would be to prostrate my belief of matter on its face, and lie there until uplifted by God, when the proof would be given by which I could uplift others." The spirit and tone of the reply were deeply impressive.
A short time afterward it became my privilege to see this verified in connection with a little child, who beautifully illustrated our Teacher's statement.
