RANDY REMEMBERS

[Of Special Interest to Children]

LUCILLE PENNEBAKER WEBSTER

Randy was in the third grade. The children were studying about transportation. Randy had made a truck, and this was the day that he was going to paint it. He could hardly wait to get to school.

Mother called Randy to breakfast, and while he ate she read to him a part of that week's Lesson-sermon as given in the Christian Science Quarterly. She read from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Randy went to the Christian Science Sunday School every Sunday, and he loved to hear his mother read from these two books which they studied in Sunday School. This week the Bible Lesson was on Love, and Randy knew that was just another name for God. That morning Randy liked especially the part of the Golden Text which said (Ps. 145: 9), "The Lord is good to all."

When Randy's mother read the part from the Christian Science textbook where Mrs. Eddy says (p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need," Randy stopped eating and said: "Oh, Mother, that's it. That's the part our Sunday School teacher told us about last Sunday. She showed us all the words in the gold letters on our Sunday School wall. Then she said we'd find those very same words in our Lesson-Sermon for next Sunday. And here they are!"
