It has been said that a very learned man once remarked. "Give me the training of a child till he is eight, and I will let you place him where you will afterwards."
A great work is being wrought for the world at this period through the teaching of little children in our Sunday schools under the Christian Science thought.
When, at the dear Mother's bidding, we took up this work two years ago, I recalled with a new sense her words in the dedicatory sermon (Pulpit and Press, page 14),—"Ah children you are the bulwarks of freedom, the cement of society, the hope of our race!"— and asked the superintendent for the privilege of feeding the tender lambs, that is, of taking the youngest class in our school.
