New-York tribune., 1921-02-06

For some time I have felt an i'm
pelling desire to write to you, ana
have recently questioned myself re-
garding my untiring etforts-lre
ouent sacrifice OF personal ease, walks
and automobile rides and visits with
dear friends, ana a great sacrifice OF
material possessions, that | may tell
the children of a larger growth Oh
1he light and health and happiness
and strength and oneness with our
Father-Mother God, which Christ
Jesus taught and demonstrated, ana
which, in this age, Mary Baker Eddy,
the DiScoverer and Founder OF CnrlS-
tfan Science, restored to the world.
Therefore | shall obey the divine 2uld-
ance-thc law Of unsettled love, ana
tell yOu, dear children, of the truth,
which has given me, and thousands,
health, happiness, and love for our
Tather-Mother God, including every
child of Sod, for there is but one God,
one creator, who is eternal Life and
Love. Everyone is Gods child and is
really our brother or sister. we must
learn to think good thoughts and then
we will see them as God made them.
We are told that There is nothing
either good or bad, but thinking
makes 1t So"
Suppose / "reminisce" just for
awhile,-go back to my childhood and
tell you some Of my experiences, when
I was a little girl. I had a dear
earthly father and mother, whom l
loved so dearly, that l was always
perfectly happy when / was with
them. They were very religious
by this I mean that they loved the
Holy Bible and tried to obey Gods
law and follow Christ Jesus teach
ings, and [ think they must have
obeyed Christ's teachings, for they
were SO good and 80 healthy and
happy. You know, dear little ones
that the Bible is the book that tells
rs what God says to His people
through men who love Him and who
obey His commandments, one OF which
reads:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart and with all thy
soul, and with all thy strength, and
with all thy mind and thy neigh
Dor as thyself.
These men were called prophets
They prophesied, or foresaw and fore
told the result Of wrong thoughts, OF
thoughts which were not God, or goo(
thoughts, Life and Love and Trutt
thoughts. Ages ago people were toli
to be good and obey God, If they
wanted ta&be happy themselves anC
he able ~ make others well an(
happy. Elijah was one Of the
prophets who talked with God apC
taught God-thoughts to the people. ST
YOU see, God spoke through him, an(
of course Elijah's thoughts were al
life and love and truth thoughts, an(
these good. God-thoughts made iht
people. who obeyed Gods voice
through Elijah. happier and healthier
Did you ever hear, children, thai
once Elijah went into house, and ht
must have been rerD hungry. for HI
asked for something to eat? There
was mother who lived I'm that house
with her little son, and she told Eliial
that she had only oil and meal enough
20 make one cake for her little boys
brorlfast and that then they must die
Elijah told her to take the meal an(
tho oil and make q cake for him, an(
she made It and he ate 1t all. Wher
pv Sunday School teacher told MT
this story, ] said ] thought Elijah was
very horrid man and very selfish K
eat the cake that the mother was say
ing for her little boys breakfast Their
my teacher told me that the mother
knew that Elijah was Gods prophet
and that she trusted him to ask Goo
to save her and her little son. OF
course Eltfah knew that God woult
rive him all that he asked for. Every
Christian knows this for the Bible
tells them to "Ask, nnd ye shall re
ceive." SO he told the mother that
the meal should not waste, neither
should the cruise of oil fail. and they
did not, for the story reads, "SAe and
be, and her house, did eat many days
