The Real and the Unreal

ELOISE CAMERON MAC GREGOR.

One day, soon after beginning the study of Science and Health, I looked out of a window and saw some children carefully examining the shadow of a tree which was cast on the lawn, the sidewalk, and the roadway, thus appearing to be constituted of grass, cement, and macadam.

Their heads were bent down scrutinizing the ground and they did not look up to see the real tree, made of one substance and growing straight out of and away from the earth, tall and beautiful, as it towered above them.

These children seemed entirely oblivious to this higher and only real existence of the tree.
