A beautiful demonstration of Love's presence and power has just come to me, and I hasten to "bring the disciples word." The letter enclosing receipt for our donation to the Children's Fund arrived, and enclosed was a direct word from our Mother.
We have a little school in our Reading Room every morning for the children, and this morning I came to my work with fresh inspiration and a heart full of gratitude and welcome to Love. Two of us, while waiting for the children, began to declare audibly the spiritual meaning of the Lord's Prayer, with this preface: "It is the prayer of Soul, and will raise us to the standpoint of instantaneous demonstration." As the sixth repetition was voiced, a knock at the door introduced a dignified college professor, so rigid in his "wrestling with material observations," that he cannot see Divine Science. He carried in his hand a large mirror which he asked us to store, for a short time. After he left, we sought the climax of our work—viz.,—saying the Prayer the seventh time. As the last word was uttered, a little boy, who had helped in selling tracts for "Mother's Room," opened the door. He bad heard that message from Mother, and had come to inquire for it. I showed him her photograph and read to him the letter. He said, holding the face before him, "See! she is laughing for me!" and then bestowed several warm kisses upon her.
We turned the professor's mirror to good account, by showing it to the children, as a type of the real mirror, Divine Science, in which they see themselves as God's ideas. And the "fragments" we picked up for ourselves, told us that the sixth day (unfolding) brings out the false sense of education to its destruction, while the seventh reveals the child-thought ready to receive the joy of Love, as our Teacher brings it to-day to the world.
