From the September 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Romaine C———, nine years old, has a very clear understanding of Science and Health, and demonstrates both for himself and others. He was asked to give his sister a treatment for "La Grippe." Soon after, he came into the room where his mamma was at work, with his eyes full of tears which he was struggling to keep back. When asked the cause, he replied, "I didn't treat my own self first, before I treated Bessie; so now I've got it." "First cast the beam out of thine own eye, then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."

While looking up the references in our Bible Lessons, he was requested to read from Science and Health. He asked how far he should read. His mamma told him as far as it made sense. "Why, it makes good sense all the way through," he replied.

What a glorious future is opening to these young Scientists,— a future unclouded by the shadows of fear, sin, sickness, or death! Truly the reign of harmony has begun,—is now; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
