A little daughter who, with her mamma, completed the course at Mass. Metaphysical College, always explains the Science to her little friends. She is not happy until they understand and believe it.
When eight years old, a cousin of about the same age came to visit her. That evening, while disrobing, with great delight she told her mother that the little cousin believed the Science. "I have taught her, mamma dear," she said. "Explain how you taught her." "Well, I said: 'Now you believe God made everything that is made, don't you?' 'Yes,' she said. 'And you believe everything He made is good?' 'Yes.' 'Then who made sickness? Don't you see it is nothing but a belief?' and right away she said 'Yes, I see.'" Unlike her elders, this pupil was not even tempted to have all seeming explained.
There was belief of Diphtheria prevalent in the Kinder-garten; some of the little ones having been lost thereby. The following is our little teacher's version of her own experience: "One day I was taken with headache; and in belief my bones did ache awfully, and I was sick at my stomach, and my throat so sore I could scarcely swallow. Teacher noticed how pale I looked, and asked if I wasn't sick; but I said 'No, I'm not.' 'You do not feel very well though, do you?' 'Not very,' I said. 'Well, I think you had better go home.' I was really glad to go and get beyond the atmosphere of her fear. On my way home, I thought: 'Now mamma is away, and I have got to treat myself!' So I did, hard as ever I could; and in less than an hour I was all right."
