[Of Special Interest to Juniors]

Susan turned and said: "I just don't see how Christian Science can help me with this problem. There goes my friend Johnnie, flying by on his bicycle, delivering groceries for the corner store. He has a summer job! And Johnnie's sister has a job caring for two little boys this summer. But I'm not old enough. Nobody will give me work. What am I going to do all summer?"
