Two dear little children, whose Mother is just turning to...

From the July 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Two dear little children, whose Mother is just turning to Christian Science for help and enlightenment, are taking it as naturally and simply as can be. The mother wished to attend a Christian Science lecture the other evening, to be given in the adjoining town, but would have to omit putting the little folks to bed herself. They were very brave however, and wanted her to go. Soon after they were in their nests, the younger one felt a little homesick for mamma, and called to his Grandma.

The older one knew Grandma was reading and thought he would try to comfort his little brother, so he climbed into bed with him and said, "I began to tell him all about God, and God was with us if mamma was away, and in two or three minutes he went right to sleep." The Mother says he reads Science and Health, and often explains with perfect ease what has been puzzling her sorely.

He has a little task to do each morning in the garden. His Mother found him reading Science and Health at the time he should he out. When questioned he said,"I want to read Science And Health first, so I can do it without getting tired." He came home from his old Sunday School quite disturbed. "Mamma I don't want to go there to Sunday School any more. My teacher told us God sends sickness; Now Mamma, you know He doesn't!"
