I have a little boy three and a half years old who is having good demonstrations. One night last week we were up to call on my parents, who live here and are very much opposed to Christian Science, in belief. My little son went over to play with one of the neighbor's children, and in playing got struck with a piece of iron which cut quite a gash over the eye. This had been bleeding quite freely, and, in their fright, had caused quite a lump. They carried him over to me. I told them to set him down, he was all right. We had three quarters of a mile to walk, and before we reached home the swelling had disappeared —never blacking his eye a particle. On Sunday, when there was only a little scab over the cut, we visited our folks again. The first words were: "Walter, what is the matter with your eye?" lie made the firm reply: "There is no matter." "Did it hurt when it was bleeding? "" No," said Walter, "it couldn't hurt, for God can't be hurt." This rebuke was so strong that it calmed the material senses.
Children are a good demonstration to us. It shows us that we must humble ourselves and become as innocent and pure in thought. They hold no hatred.
