Eleanor heard a gentleman speak rather sneeringly of Christian Science. She is a very loyal little Scientist, and cannot bear to hear anyone speak against it without herself defending. Courageously, she said: "If you please, sir, I don't think you quite understand what Christian Scientists mean. They only want everything that is good and true to win. My mamma is one, so I know.' The gentleman looked in surprise at the upturned face; but when he noticed the sweet expression it wore, he merely smiled kindly, and said: "Well, I beg your pardon, my little maid, perhaps I was mistaken." Then he continued talking, but manifested thereafter a better Spirit than before". In telling me about it, Eleanor said: "I held that error could not hide him from Truth; and the thought came to me 'Wisdom is justified of her children.' "
I thought Wisdom was plainly "justified of her children" in this case, and wished we were all as earnest and honest in defending our Christ as this little child.
