WHO GOES THERE?

Sheila Mary Rowley

Come to our front door, and you will meet our little dog. She's an expert doorkeeper. Even before you arrive, she hears you. With a bark and a scamper she runs to the door. Are you a friend or not? No one can get by until she finds out.

She's our watchman and guard. She welcomes in friends but no one else. So we call her Porter. Can you guess why? Her name is taken from a very important rule in the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy: "Stand porter at the door of thought." Science and Health, p. 392;

How can I forget this rule when she's around? Each time she plays porter I remind myself: "Guard your mental home. Watch what you are letting into your thinking."
