CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ALPHABETICAL POEM

From the January 1892 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When our little Myrtle began to learn from her "A.B.C" book the brief sayings along with each letter, once or twice reading to her enabled her to remember the letters perfectly. This suggested the thought that if the sentiments were only in line with Christian Science, they would do much good. About this time her uncle became interested in what she was doing, and arranged some rather more Scientific thoughts to accompany the letter. By having these read to her three or four times, Myrtle learned them so she could repeat the entire poem correctly. I enclose, thinking other little ones will enjoy learning. Please use for what it is worth.—

A is the first, hence stands for All.
B stands for Blessings which on us fall
When C of Christ us does remind,
And D of His Day whose light we find.

E found in words like Earnestness.
F in Faith and Faithfulness.
From A to G you count just seven:
G stands for God; H, Harmony and Heaven.
