When Grant was seven years old he came home from school one night feeling very badly, in belief. His head ached and he was feverish and restless all night. His mamma was quite anxious about him, although she is a Christian Scientist.
In the morning his head still ached, and he seemed worse. He began to talk to his mamma about what he had learned in Christian Science. "Am I made in the image and likeness of God, mamma?" "Yes," she answered. "Was not all that God made good?" he asked. "Yes, Grant," said mamma. "Then if all God made was good, he did not make me sick, and it is only a lie that tells me I am, isn't it mamma?" "It is only a lie, Grant, God does not make you sick." "Then let's get up mamma." So they got up and went to breakfast; but Grant ate nothing. His elder brother said, "Grant can't go to school to-day." His mamma thought he had better stay at home, but he said he would go as he did not want his class to get ahead of him.
He went to school as usual, and when he came home at noon was as well as ever. His mamma thinks he overcame the belief through his understanding of Christian Science.— Beatrice, Neb.
