"WHY NOT?"

[Of Special Interest to Children]

CHARLES PORTER LOWES

Donald was a well-behaved boy and had such a beaming, cheery smile that he always brought sunshine to everyone he met. His sister Martha was about two years older than he. They had great fun going to school together, and they played at the playground afterwards because there were no other children in the neighborhood where they lived.

One day a large moving van appeared, and Donald and Martha soon learned that a family with two boys about their age was moving into a new house not very far away. This was good news! The names of the boys were Ted and John. The four children readily made friends, and their parents quickly became acquainted.

Donald and Martha soon found out that Ted and John did not play on Sunday mornings, for they went to the Christian Science Sunday School while their parents attended church services. Ted and John each had two small black books almost the same size, which they carried to Sunday School. These books were the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Donald and Martha usually went with their parents on Sunday to the beach or to the mountains for recreation, so they seldom had the opportunity to attend any Sunday School.
