How Nancy Proved Her Faith in God

[Of Special Interest to Children]

MOLLIE ORR WALDRON

We find in the Bible the following statement: "Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right" (Prov. 20:11). And Mrs. Eddy says, "A child will demonstrate Christian Science and have a clear perception of it" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 113). Nancy once proved the truth of these statements in her own experience.

When her testing time came, Nancy had attended a Christian Science Sunday School for about five years. During these years she had learned to love her Father-Mother God. She had also learned about our dear Master, Christ Jesus, who loved little children. He said (Matt. 18:10), "In heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven." Nancy knew that to see God's face. His loveliness, she must keep her thoughts filled with Godlike thoughts—with goodness, kindness, truthfulness, and love.

It was summer, and Nancy and her mother went to visit her aunt and uncle, who lived far away. Nancy looked forward to the interesting experience of living in another part of her great country.
