BETTER THAN HIDE-AND-SEEK

[Of Special Interest to Children]

PARK WOLAVER

I Suppose you know all about how to play hide-and-seek. Sometimes you are the one called "it." At other times you and others hide from the one who is "it" until he finds you.

Healing someone in Christian Science is a little like finding someone in hide-and-seek. This is because in healing we look for and discover something of the real man, the perfect child of God. And, like hide-and-seek, Christian Science healing has rules which we must follow. When these rules are followed, everyone is made happier and better.

One rule is to know the difference between man as he really is and man as he humanly seems to be. The body which we see with our eyes seems to be man; the world calls it man; but it really is not man at all. The material body appears only in the dream about man. Unless we remember that it is a dream and is not real, the material body hides the real man from us.
