From the November 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Truth perfects praise "out of the mouth of babes" in varied and wondrous ways. Our little one, aged four and a half years, corrects, with a child's quick perception of Science, every unscientific seeming in us, and teaches us many valuable lessons in Truth.

One day he went to play with some little friends, and when told they were to "take care not to hurt themselves," he looked up from his play and said, "There is no hurt, because God is Love." Another day he said, "Why, if I fall, I fall into Love, so cannot be hurt." So of course he never is, or if just for a moment he thinks he is, he soon finds out he is making a mistake, and laughs at himself for being so foolish.

In speaking of some one he loves very much he said, almost with tears in his eyes,—"And I teached her, and I teached her, and I teached her that there was not hurt because God is Love, and she could not understand."
