Melting the Mist

[Of Special Interest to Children]

JUNE RICE SCHEETZ

In the Christian Science Sunday School, Brian had learned that God made the whole universe, that He made it good, and that He made man in His likeness. Brian noticed that when something was not good, his Sunday School teacher called it error.

"What is error?" Brian asked his mother. She told him that when she was a child, she could see a tower on the top of a hill on her way to school. It was built of large stones and looked like a castle. On misty or foggy mornings, it was hard to see the tower. And on some days the air moved in such a way that the tower looked as if it were wobbling. Brian thought it was funny to imagine that the big, solid rocks could move.

"On some days, the sun would suddenly break through." said Mother, "and melt the mist so I could see the tower. Truth is like the sunshine. Error can't stay where Truth is." Then Brian could see that error is only name for something that pretends to be.
