A little boy, having become much excited at seeing a drunken man brutally abuse his horse, appeared convulsed with terror. After Christian Science treatment, and restoration to his usual happy condition, he asked,—"What made me better?" He was told that "God is Love, and is always near us; and that if he would remember this, and often think of it, he need not be afraid of anything; that God is our Father, and the children who remember this, and love only to be good, are quite safe in His care." He was only four years old, but listened understandingly, and immediately repeated, "God is Love. Father takes care. Baby'll be good." And, with a smile at his mother, who was learning her lesson also, said "That's just as good for you, mamma, I won't let you forget."
For two years he has continued a lovely, loving "child of God," believing and living the simple Truth. Cuts, burns and bruises, if noticed by any one, are quickly settled with,—"Oh, we don't bozzer bout that—no Spirit in it."
Recently, while playing on the sidewalk, a run-a-way horse dashed past, very close to him. His mother saw, from the window, that he did not stir nor change his expression. After he came into the house she asked, "Were you not afraid of the run-a-way horse?" "Why?" he said, "God doesn't let His horses hurt His little boys."
