Sunday School Notes and Comments

"Love. What a word! I am in awe before it. Over what worlds on worlds it hath range and is sovereign!" So writes our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, on page 249 of "Miscellaneous Writings." This synonym for God is repeatedly coupled in her writings with another synonym for God, divine Principle.

The understanding of divine Love as Principle is often overlooked in the application of Christian Science to daily living, and especially so in the training of children. Human indulgence is often mistaken for love, and discipline is cast aside as having nothing to do with the religion of Love.

As a result children may become a prey to unhappy suggestions of disobedience, disorderliness, and selfishness, because they have not been taught to understand the protection of divine Love as Principle. The Sunday school teacher can do much to educate the children in this all-important subject.
