Mrs. H—, a Scientist, has been trying three years to teach her little ones about God and His care over them. Litta, five years old, wanted to go home with an aunt,—not a Scientist,—several hundred miles away. Her mamma said to her: "What would you do if you were sick? Mamma would not be there to treat you." Litta replied very emphatically: "I could affirm the Truth for myself; besides, you know God would not let me get sick." At another time when a good many things had seemed to trouble the mother, so that a few tears were shed, Litta said; "Why mamma, it is not, for God did not make it." Headaches have, as she tells it, "gone right away," before the same treatment. When asked how she thinks it out, she says: "I think it is a lie, for God did not make it." From the time she began to talk, she would run to her mother if she had a belief and say: "Dive me t'eatment."
