Bill listens

Nancy H. Kreutzer

One day a friend gave Bill a miniature Noah's ark with lots of animals. He liked it very much and after the weekend wanted to take it to nursery school to show to the other children.

But on Monday morning when Bill was getting ready for school, the Noah's ark set was nowhere to be found. Bill's father helped look everywhere for it until he had to leave for work.

Bill's mother wanted to help too. She told him she was certain that if he was very still and listened to God, God would show him exactly where to find Noah's ark. She gave Bill the definition of "angels" from Science and Health: "Angels. God's thoughts passing to man ...."^{Science and Health, p. 581.} Mother read him something else by Mrs. Eddy too: "God gives you His spiritual ideas, and in turn, they give you daily supplies."^{Miscellaneous Writings, p. 307.}
