A Little boy only five years old, who lives in Colorado, helps his mamma very much in her Christian Science work. He is a very bright little fellow, and perhaps this story about him will inspire the children who read it with the divine impulse to "go and do likewise."
He calls himself a Christian Scientist, and when he speaks of us he always says, "we Christian Scientists," so his mamma tells me.
At one time he had lost a little rake belonging to one of the stoves, and, as his mamma was in constant need of it to rake the ashes, she said: "My dear little boy, you must find it, because mamma will need it again to-morrow or the day after." Then she thought no more about it as she was very busy. An hour or two later she went into a room and found him all alone. "Do not come in just now, mamma dear," he said sweetly, "for I am giving a treatment." "Who are you treating, Maury?" asked his mamma. "You said I must find the rake, mamma, so I am treating for understanding." "Will you give the treatment aloud so mamma can hear it?" she asked. "Yes," was the answer and here is the treatment just as he gave it: "God is my understanding. He knows all things, and whenever I quit trying to know for myself, then I will know, because God Knows."
