Gratitude to God

[Of Special Interest to Children]

RUTH KENNEDY

Supper was over at the Craigs' house, and Mr and Mrs. Craig and David were gathered in the living room. Mrs. Craig was busily writing David's brother, Edward, who was a cadet in the Air Force, and Mr. Craig had settled down in his chair with a copy of The Christian Science Monitor. David appeared to be doing nothing more than staring into space.

Suddenly he broke the quiet of the room by saying, "Please, may I go to work for Mr. Harkins?"

Mrs. Craig ceased writing as Mr. Craig lowered his Monitor to his knees. David was in the sixth grade, and both his parents felt he was a bit young to go to work for anyone, even nice Mr. Harkins, their grocer. But they knew that David must have been doing some serious thinking about it, for he had been taught both at home and in the Christian Science Sunday School to look to God, divine Love, for guidance in everything he undertook.
