Our Wall of Truth

[Of Special Interest to Children]

HIAZEL MARGARET ELBORG

Jimmy and Paul had lived all of their eight years on neighboring farms, and they were very fond of each other. However, there was one thing about this friendship that troubled Jimmy. Paul liked to tease, and this made Jimmy angry.

Now Jimmy had been going to the Christian Science Sunday School since he was three years old. and there he had learned that God is Love, and that man is His image and likeness. He had also learned the Ten Commandments, and now his class was reviewing them. The Sunday before they had repeated the First Commandment as given in Exodus (20:3). "Thou shall have no other gods before me." The teacher had explained that it meant they should not give error power to make them believe that they could be dishonest, unkind, angry, or sick. Instead, they were to know God as the only power and presence and man as reflecting His goodness.

Jimmy had early been taught that God is the only power. He had never had anything but Christian Science help when he was sick, and it always healed him. But he didn't see how Christian Science could stop Paul from tormenting him.
