MOTHER AND CHILD

CLAIRE G. CORRIDON

In caring for their little ones, mothers sometimes feel a false sense of responsibility. The teachings of Christian Science can dissipate this fear. Even a new student of this Science feels at peace and begins to drop her burdens when she has grasped the basic lesson, namely, that God is cause and that man, His child, is consequence.

God is both Father and Mother, creating only that which is perfect. Moreover, God is Love, ceaselessly and eternally caring for His offspring. Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 257), "Mind creates His own likeness in ideas, and the substance of an idea is very far from being the supposed substance of non-intelligent matter."
