A little anecdote which has helped me to make clearer to those in trouble how it is that God can help them although He does not know about their troubles, and how Christ, Truth, saves us, although God knows no sin, may help others. A young man who had a good mother and a happy home, went to the Boer war in South Africa. He fell in with bad companions and soon learned to do as they did. One day he received a most loving letter from his mother, who knew nothing of her son's evil surroundings and bad habits, telling him of all the dear home news, of their longing to see him, and of all the love which awaited him on his return. This letter arrested him in his downward career, and he turned at once from his evil ways. His mother did not need to know of her son's fall into error in order to save him. So the Christ—the Word of God—comes to us through Christ Jesus' teachings, which reveal the love of the Father, and this love "constraineth us" to arise and go to our Father, and He is our salvation. The power of divine Love is wonderfully illustrated in all the teachings of Christian Science, and is the basis of all its healing work.—Isabelle Tennant.
