A Challenge and a Victory

In the church of which I was formerly a member I taught a coeducational class of high school and college boys and girls and had a great deal of joy and unfoldment in the work. My work was commended by the board of directors of the local church and by the Sunday School superintendent.

When I became a member of a Church of Christ, Scientist, in the city in which I now live, I was asked if I liked small children. I replied that I did and that I had been a music teacher prior to becoming a registered practitioner and had been very successful with small children, also that I had reared four children of my own. So I was given a class of four-and five-year-olds.

The first Sunday was exceedingly difficult. They were very unruly and playful, and when the hour was over I thought: I shall not go on with this class, for I have had experience with older boys and girls and have been lifted above teaching these little ones. With my understanding of Truth this is no place for me; so I shall ask the superintendent to get someone else for the baby class and add that I should be happy to teach an older class.
