THE
Scriptural account of Moses and the children of Israel is prolific with encouraging and helpful lessons, which may be of great assistance to the children of to-day,—those who are seeking and searching for the land of promise, the realm of peace, health, happiness, yet find themselves wandering hopelessly and helplessly about in the desert and wilderness of doubt and discouragement.

has often been observed that Christian Scientists are a peculiar people! This is due, in part, to their logical attempt to apply the Scriptures to the practical affairs of life, but chiefly to the more remarkable fact that nearly all of them have personally experienced the benefits and blessings they proclaim.

How
sweet the story of that long ago, When the disciples sailed at close of day, And as the ship launched forth, the Master lay Asleep upon a pillow, resting so.

One of the blessings given us by our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, is the privilege of testifying to the healing power of Christian Science, when properly applied, in and under all circumstances.
"Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to me, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the childlike," is an admonition of our Master, in the words of the Twentieth Century New Testament, that has been a rule in our home; and its observance has resulted in great blessings to children and adults.
