Light through the Windowpane

[Of Special Interest to Children]

EDNA B. WILLIAMS

There are many lovely things to tell you about a windowpane. One is that it lets in the light. The sun shines upon the walls of our houses, but only through the windowpane can the dancing sunbeams find entrance into a room and drive away the shadows. Another lovely thing is that while the glass lets in the sunshine, it at the same time excludes the cold and also the noises of the street.

The most satisfactory windowpane is that one which, because it is clean and unblemished, is hardly noticed at all, but one is aware only of a flood of warm sunlight. Of course, the windowpane cannot of itself dispel darkness or warm a room; only the light and sunshine can do this. The windowpane, however, has the very important part of admitting that which can light up the dark places and bring warmth and comfort to those within the home.

Christian Science teaches that God, good, is everywhere present, forever expressing His goodness and His love. On page 473 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy has written, "God is everywhere, and nothing apart from Him is present or has power." This ever-present God is the creator of every living thing, and He is the source of all beautiful spiritual qualities, such as intelligence, love, joy, kindness, and so on.
