A "Truly" Story

[Of Special Interest to Youth]

THE HON. FRANCES PORTER

Children always ask, "Is this a truly story?" And this is a "truly" story.

"I don't want to take a job like that," said Janie. "I'm only just through college. Pamela is not a very agreeable little girl. Think of a child of five kicking and biting and scratching everyone who tries to be kind to her! Besides, her family are not Christian Scientists."

"Well, dear," her mother replied quietly, "the decision is in your hands. But remember Mrs. Eddy's words [Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 392], 'Your decisions will master you, whichever direction they take.' It is true that Pamela's mother is not a Christian Scientist; but why do you think she is so insistent in her desire to have you see if you can help Pamela? It seems to me that she must feel the power of Truth that is present in your thinking."
