WATCH

[Of Special Interest to Children]

MARY JANE BACON

A Soldier when on guard duty needs to remain very wide-awake at his post. He must be quite sure that it is a friend whom he allows to pass, and not an enemy in disguise.

As soldiers of Christian Science we must be on guard. Our watch, however, is to be kept at the door of thought, and only good thoughts should be allowed to pass. The door must be firmly shut on everything not Godlike. We must be on guard against such enemy thoughts as resentment and impatience when we are shown a fault.

How well Habakkuk must have known this when he wrote (2:1), "I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved." He determined to listen for God's voice.
