[Of Special Interest to Little Children]
Sally was a happy little girl who had been going to the Christian Science Sunday School ever since she was a tiny tot. She especially loved Sundays, and going to Sunday school in the morning. At night before bedtime she and her mother would talk over what she had learned that morning. Then Mother would read her a story from the Bible, and they would try to find references in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" to see how Mrs. Eddy explained what they had read. All the next week Sally would see how often she could prove what she had learned, whether one of the Beatitudes or one of the Ten Commandments or something from a Bible story.
Although Sally was an only child, she had been taught to be unselfish, and to share whatever she had with others. But sometimes, when you have no brothers and sisters, it is hard to put into practice what you have learned.
Then one day Jennie, a little refugee child, came to live with Sally and her mother and father. When Jennie first came she was a frail child with big, frightened-looking eyes, and Sally lovingly looked after her taking her to school with her, and sharing her room and her toys. Soon the frightened look began to disappear, and Jennie would run as happily as Sally to meet Daddy each night when he returned from work; and she would look excitedly into the packages Mother brought home from shopping, for they usually contained pretty clothes or some useful article for her as well as for Sally. All the presents that came into the house, which before had been for Sally alone, now were shared with Jennie. And the little girl expressed so much gratitude for everything no one could help loving her.
