Mistakes Have No Reality
[Of Special Interest to Children]
Sara and Betty are sisters. They trust God and often discuss their love for Him after going to bed at night. They have learned in the Christian Science Sunday School that God, good, fills all space and that any discord or error is not good and so has no place in which to exist.
One evening, after they were in bed, Sara, who has learned in school what a mistake is, said to her sister: "Error is only a mistake. It is not real at all."
Betty found this very interesting and thought about it a little while. Sara then added: "You know, when I make a mistake in school, I erase the wrong answer and fill in the right one. That is all we need to do about error."
