Manner of Giving

BY HENNIE PEEBLES.

Last spring a morning glory came up near my window I noticed one day that it looked thirsty, so I put some water in a bowl and threw it on the flower. I nearly uprooted the little plant. I stopped and learned a lesson. The plant needed water, and love prompted the giving. The water was pure and would have filled the need. Yet, a mistake had been made. What was wrong? The manner of giving.

So we often fail in giving this Truth to thirsty souls. We present it in a mistaken way, and wonder at our failure to help those we so greatly desire to help.

Christian Science is a perfect and exact Science, and must thus be presented. He who fails to keep one law is guilty of the whole. Till he sees his mistake and corrects it, his problem is wrong.
