There are hundreds of teachers in our public and private schools who are uplifted and sustained by the blessed Truth of Christian Science; there are thousands working wearily on, ignorant of the great Truth that to-day stands at the door and knocks. It is to these weary workers that I would send a message of love, a word of cheer.
Who can estimate the light and joy that would shine into the crowded schoolrooms of our great cities, and into the wayside schoolhouses of the country, could the teacher bring with her an understanding of the Principle of Christian Science, could she see in the little ones before her the perfect individuality, instead of the counterfeit presentments of poor, personal humanity.
A visitor said to a teacher in charge of a class of children, "Why, that boy's character is transformed when you teach; his whole manner and expression are different; under the instruction of others, he seems stupid, his eyes lose lustre, his mouth loses firmness, he is another being." No, the change was simply the response to kindness and love. If mere human love could work such a transformation, what could not the understanding that God is Love and Wisdom and All in all, do for the little ones gathered about us?
