For some time / have felt an I'M
pelling desire to write to you, ana
have recently questioned myself re-
garding my untiring efforts,-fre-
quent sacrifice of personal ease, walks
and automobile rides and visits with
dear friends, and a great sacrifice or
material ossessions,-that I may tell
the children of a larger growth OF
the light and health and happiness
and strength and oneness with our
Father-Mother God, which Christ
Jesus taught and demonstrated, and
which. in this age, Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of Chris
tian Science, restored to the world.
Therefore / shall obey the divine guild
ance-the law of unsettled love, and
tell you, dear children, Of the Truth.
which has given me, and thousands,
health, happiness, and a love for our
Father-Mother God, including every
child of God, 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

makes II So"
Suppose / "reminisce" just for
awhile,-go back to my childhood and
tell you some of my experiences, when
i was q little girl. I had dear
earthly father and mother, whom I
loved so dearly, that was always
perfectly happy when / was with
them. They were very religious
by this / 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 so healthy and
happy. You know, dear little ones,
that the Bible Is the book that tells
us 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 thv neigh
Dor as thyself
These men were called prophets
They prophesied. or foresaw and fore
told the result Of wrong thoughts, or
thoughts which were not God, or good
thoughts, Life and Love and Truth
thoughts. Ages ago people were told
TO be good and obey God, IL they
wanted to be happy themselves and
he able to make others well and
happy. Elijah was one Of the
prophets who talked with God and
taught God-thoughts TO the people. so
YOU see God spoke through him, and
Of course Elijahs thoughts were all
life and love and truth thoughts, and
these good, God-thoughts made the
people, who obeyed Gods voice
through Elijah, happier and healthier.
Did you ever hear, children. that
once Elijah went into house, and he
must have been Uery hungry, for he
asked for something to eat? There
was mother who lived In that house
with her little son. and she told Elijah
that she had only oil and meal enough
10 make one cake for her little boys
breakfast and that then they must die.
Elijah told her 20 take the meal and
the 80 acd r1aSe n cake for him. and
she made II and he. ate it all. When
my Sunday School teacher told me
this story, I said I thought Elijah was
very horrld man and very selfish to
eat the cake that the mother was saw
ing for her little boys breakfast. Then
my teacher told me that the mother
>,ew that Elijah was Gods prophet
anG that she trusted him to ask God
"a save her and her little son. OF
course Elijah knew that God would
,iye him all that he asked for. Every
Christian knows this, for the Bible
tells them to. ASK. and ye shall re-
ceive." SO he told the mother that
the meal should not waste. neither
should the cruise Of oil fail, and they
aid not. for the story reads. "She and
he, and her house. did eat many days
