Sunday School Notes and Comments

Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us on page 470 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," that "man is the expression of God's being." Our children need to be helped to gain this true sense of being, and to realize it as their own true selfhood. The best form of protection from erroneous belief of every kind is the abiding consciousness that the allness of divine Love makes unreal any other claim to being; that there is no life or consciousness but that which is "the expression of God's being." The children can be taught to know as real only that which God knows, and to see as He sees, because man is the reflection of God.

This is the standard which should be set before our Sunday school children. Christian Science should open for them the door upon the radiant universe of God's ideas, and enable them joyously to explore its infinite possibilities.

The Word, containing the seed within itself, unfolds continuously in the child's consciousness from the moment he realizes his true selfhood to be "the expression of God's being," and it uncovers to him progressively the nothingness of anything and everything that does not conform to the absolute standard of Truth set before him in Christian Science. God's ideas alone possess vitality and power.
