Bringing Good Tidings

[Of Special Interest to Children]

ELLAN EDWARDS CLIFFORD

Kitty lived almost a mile from school, and the walk there and back twice a day had always been fun. There were friends to meet and walk with along the way, a park to frolic through, and a friendly greeting from Lady, the collie that lived in the house at the top of the hill.

But lately the walk had not been fun for Kitty, and she spent recess time at school quietly watching the others instead of playing games or skipping rope with her classmates as she used to do. A large, wartlike growth on the top of her big toe had made her shoe uncomfortable when she walked, ran, or jumped.

Kitty had learned in Christian Science to think of God as Love. And she had been taught that Love's children can only be lovely. A wart is the very opposite of loveliness, so it could never have been created by God, who "saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Gen. 1:31).
