These words come to us in explanation of the following tale: "My little Son Walter is very fond of having stories read to him. There being so little in the line of Christian Science written for children, I have had to change nearly all the stories I read, to suit the occasion, and finally thought I would try and write some myself. The first attempt I submit to you for use, if in the least valuable, and will let you hear from me further if acceptable."
So commendable an effort to supply in some measure a serious and widely felt deficiency, should be warmly encouraged; so, though hitherto having confined ourselves exclusively to the use of tact in this department, there will in future appear from time to time, under proper caption, such productions as seem to us to contain a potent thought for good. We are loth to apply to these the term "fiction;" it seeming so entirely incongruous in this connection. Those fully believing that "All is Mind," will recognize a pure, potent thought mentally conceived for others' good, to be no less fact than a sister thought visibly enacted in the performance of a kind, loving deed; will understand that it is the one, eternal Fact prompting throughout "to will and to do of His good pleasure."
