Dear Children of the Twentieth Century,

And the meal wasted not, neither did
the cruise of oil fail"
Then there was another prophet,
Elisha, who told a woman how to get
the money to pay her debts. The
man to whom she owed the money
was going to take her two sons and
make them work to pay this big debt.
OF course, the mother felt very sorry
that her sons would have to work
hard to pay her debt. Elisha asked
her If she had anything TO eat in the
house. She said Nothing save pot
of OIL" and then he told her TO send
out and borrow empty vessels of all
her neighbors. You see, the mother
was obedient to the prophets word
and she had her reward, for all the
vessels that she had borrowed from
her neighbors were filed with oil,
which she sold, and she paid all her
debts. 1t Is right for everyone to pay
his or her own debts, is 1t not, chill
dren?
If everyone knew Elijah's and
Elisha's and Christ Jesus God,-and
there is only one God,-there wouldn't
be anybody in debt, would there? II
everybody knew that the God Of
Elijah and Elisha and Christ Jesus
was their God and their loving
Father, no one would be worried
about debts and there would be no
hungry people and no starving chill
dren. I think, children, IL Elijah and
Elisha were here to-day, they could
feed all the hungry little and big
children here and in Europe, and
knolo, really do knoto that Christ
Jesus could. / think that all the
earthly fathers and mothers and
everybody had better find God and
He will feed all His little and big
children, do you not?
Christ Jesus and his disciples knew,
that If people would be healthy and
happy, they must love God and love
each other, because God is the Father
and Mother, or creator, of everyone
and Of everything that is good and
real, and of nothing that Is not good,
so that anything that is not good is
unreal and we must not believe in
what God never made. You know
that you must love your little brothers
and sisters and be unselfish and kind,
and share with them the good things
you have, II you wish to be happy,
and make your earthly father and
mother and home happy. AS you
grow older you will see, that If there
is but one God, one creator, and this
God is Life and Love, that everyone
must be your brother or sister and
you must love them, because God Is
Life and Love, and He made them
like Himseif,--good, and that they
are all His good children, whom He
made In ellis own image" Even the
birds and fishes and animals. the
flowers and trees and mountains, God
made and they are all good, because
there Is but one creator, or Father
Mother God, and one real world. God
Is Life and Love, and I believe and
understand, with thousands who try
to follow Christ, that He is the cause
or creator Of all that Is real and
eternal. IF He is Al, then everyone
and everything must be His thoughts
or children. God-thoughts are
good thoughts, Love-thoughts, Truth
thoughts, and therefore there can
never be any reality I'm n thought or
thing which IS not good. God being
good, and all that He made good. like
Himself, we can never admit another
power. as real, such as unkind
thoughts, selfish thoughts, ungrateful
thoughts. for those wrong thoughts,
II INDUCED, make little children or
big children very unhappy, very un-
iovable, and sometimes very sick.
They are naughty thoughts. which
God never made. and the little chill
dren OF this century are learning to
think God (good) thoughts. They are
resisting thoughts which make them
sick or unhappy and which make
others unhappy.
When was a little girl, no one
knew that thoughts made people we'll
and happy. or sick and disagreeable
TO themselves and everyone. Had my
dear mother known that her fear that
some disease called contagious was a
