KAY OBEYS ANGEL VOICES

[Of Special Interest to Children]

MELVA JANE MUTCH

Do you like to learn interesting and helpful things? Kay did, and that was one reason why she liked her first visit to the Christian Science Sunday School. A short while later she remarked, "I want to go to the Christian Science Sunday School every Sunday so I can learn more about how God heals." So her mother and father found a way for Kay and her sister to go to this Sunday School regularly.

A few months later when Kay woke up on Sunday morning she found that error was trying to talk to her. Her mother suggested that maybe she should stay at home because she had a bad toothache. But Kay did not want to stay at home. She had been taught in the Christian Science Sunday School that, as God's child, she was perfect. She knew that the Bible says (Gen. 1:27), "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him." But it was hard to forget the pain and think about what she knew of her Father-Mother God and His perfect image.

Soon Kay picked up the Bible and opened it to the Ten Commandments (Ex. 20:3–17). Though she knew only a few of the simpler words, they helped her to think about God. Then Kay remembered the "scientific statement of being," which is found on page 468 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. It says: "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual."
