A demonstration of not standing "aghast" has come under my observation, in the realization of a little boy of about five years of age; and as it was helpful to me, I will share it with you.
Some of his little playmates were suffering from an attack of measles; but his mamma, who had been healed from reading Science and Health, did not forbid his continuing to associate with them, although grandma and friends were disposed to censure. She was not afraid, and little Grant had taken the thought that he was "God's little boy and" consequently "could not be sick;" so he continued to visit them, and whenever the claim was mentioned, Grant would always talk the Truth, and never admit the error;— "You hasn't got e measles!" And when they would rather affirm that they had, he would say, "No, you hasn't! your mamma tinks you has, but you hasn't!"
Those who were expecting him to manifest the error, watched him very closely; but with none of their questions could they make him admit that he was anything but, "I's perfectly well." And he was, playing out in the yard as usual.
