THE TRUTH MAKES FREE

[Of Special Interest to Children]

V. WINIFRED MORRIS

Margaret was big enough to travel quite a long way by herself on the bus. Sometimes she would go several miles to spend the week end with an aunt who lived in the country. Margaret loved to do this, for she could spend many happy hours with her woodland friends—birds, rabbits, squirrels, and even a tiny hedgehog. Also, she was able to visit another Christian Science Sunday School, where she had many friends.

Margaret had attended the Sunday School in her home town since she was three years old, and it was here she had learned that God was her Father-Mother and that she could turn to this loving Parent in all her difficulties. She had read in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 276): "Discord is the nothingness named error. Harmony is the somethingness named Truth." This she had proved true many times in solving school problems and in healing herself of physical ailments.

One Sunday night Auntie found Margaret in her room crying and very unhappy because she had a bad nosebleed. Together they turned their thoughts to God and quietly repeated the Lord's Prayer. Then they remembered that "discord is the nothingness named error" and that God sends only good to His children. Instantly the bleeding stopped, and then Auntie asked what had caused her to be so unhappy. Margaret said she was worried about an art examination she was to have the next day, and not only was she not very good at art but she had missed many lessons. Due to an overcrowded class she had sometimes had to take her music lesson during that period.
