Enclosed find check for $5 from the Christian Science Sunday...

From the September 1891 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Enclosed find check for $5 from the Christian Science Sunday School in Wilmington, Del. for Children's Fund. We think perhaps some other Science children would like to know how we brought this money out in Science.

On the 26th of last April five little girls and two boys came to our new Reading Rooms to form a Science Sunday School. They were all under eight years of age, and knew very little of Science, consciously. Three of these brought a penny each. The unexpected offering drew a quick response from mother-love, which whispered, "Give each a tract in return, and let them distribute Truth, and at the same time earn the penny for next Sabbath."

After a few simple lessons, the children were told that the leaflets were God's message, and that it was more honorable to sell Truth's words than the most precious error. Also, that every one wanted to know of Christian Science, and to offer it was giving a cup of water in the name of a disciple." This was the beginning.
