Take God's thought

Carrie Christina Aardal

One day while I was at school, a girl hurt herself, I'd seen her in my Christian Science Sunday School. My teacher said I should take the girl down to the office.

I sat down with her. I said, "Do you want me to help you?" She understood and she said, "Yes."

I was looking for an example. I saw a box...a lost and found box. On the box there was written "TAKE ME IF I'M YOURS." I told her, "You can take errors thought or God's thought. It's your decision." We had learned in Sunday School that what is hurt or sick is error and that God's way is healthy and good. I told her to think about it.

We went to lunch, and at recess she felt better and her hurt didn't hurt anymore.
