Sunday School Notes and Comments

Our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has written (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 274): "Dear reader, right thinking, right feeling, and right acting—honesty, purity, unselfishness—in youth tend to success, intellectuality, and happiness in manhood. To begin rightly enables one to end rightly, and thus it is that one achieves the Science of Life, demonstrates health, holiness, and immortality." To make this right start now is all-important. Regular weekly attendance at Sunday school, together with study periods at home, is surely a modest contribution toward this end. To do this consistently requires strength of character, for error would try to keep pupils away—this being a form of animal magnetism to be recognized and dealt with. As pupils overcome the temptation to stay away from Sunday school, they develop the quality of trustworthiness that will go far toward enabling them later to rise to high achievement in worthy endeavors.

Teaching the elder pupils in the Christian Science Sunday School has brought the conviction that there is need of bringing to the pupils the realization that Christian Science is the revelation of Truth, and not "just another religious denomination." It is more necessary today than ever before that the teaching in our Sunday schools bring clearly to the consciousness of the pupils the greatness of the revelation of Christian Science, and its radical departure from human systems, theories, and philosophies.
