Where Shall We Look?

[Of Special Interest to Children]

MINNA BONNER HOFFMANN

Each day Johnnie uses what he learns of God in a Christian Science Sunday School. In this way healing comes to him.

One day Johnnie arrived at Sunday School with a large sore on his arm. Not very wisely he showed it to his classmates. Quietly his teacher asked the children to repeat these important words of Mrs. Eddy's in Science and Health: "Look away from the body into Truth and Love, the Principle of all happiness, harmony, and immortality" (p. 261). They were glad to obey, for they knew that God is Truth and that God is Love and that they always are made happy when they turn to Him.

The teacher then began to talk about man. She questioned, "Is this material body the real man?" The pupils knew that the material body was no more man than the material clothes that they were wearing were man. It made the children laugh to be asked if the body could get up by itself and walk across the room. Then they saw that it has to obey the truth that the children are learning from God.
