"And not only yourselves"

[Written Especially for Children]

VIAHNETT S. MARTIN

So now the group which had gathered under the grape arbor wanted to know why the two little Christian Scientists were not afraid of "catching" illness, and felt no need of anything except right thinking as a protection.

"You see," said one of them, "we learn at home and in Sunday school that there shall no plague 'come nigh thy dwelling,' and we know that our dwelling is our thinking, our consciousness. So if we keep error pictures out of our thinking we are protected, and such pictures are not found on our bodies."
