The commentary as follows
You know friends childhood should be happy time
for children and parents alike sometimes childhood rs
.houqh Of as when there things tor parents
10 be afraid o-thngs like sickness and eonta9on seedens
and hered'y
But YOUR home does not have be undermined by fear
or any Many learning that there
is an understanding Of which wipes out fear and destroys
disease and symptoms This understanding was taught ana
paefieed by the Christ Jesus the understanding
that God and gives only good 10 His children me
fact that good and good alone is set forth in the Bible
and is one fundamental teachings OF Christian science
When Gods loving care for His children is understood,
parents find they face any situation with confidence They
are strengthened in carrying out their parental responsibility
because they rely God the sure source OF nesn
and protection They the greatest opportunity par
snts can have is 10 understand help their children IN

cur quests mother hesated for while herself buf when
throush Christian Science you begin TO grasp TO really sp
ece the great power and goodness and love OF God you
know without question that you trust Him in every sfV
eon You find the Bible is God who heaeih
ell Thy dseasss who redsene'h thy life from destruction
And what and healing available TO you
and YOUR when you begin understand that God
Is divine Love that He the only real creator as the
Eble tells u He altogether loving and good and so could
never make sickness disease, anything harmful " be-
comes more you that your children cannot sUter
from that which God made and which therefore not
actually real
Now this doesn't that Christian Science ignores
disease What happens that you destroy by learning that
disease is no more powerful than mistake in addition
Just as mistake in arithmetic vanshes in the light OF cor.
rect knowledge so disease vanishes when you understand
mans spiritual status the child OF God.
To understand mans nature. let remember that
God the creator Of all divine Spirit perfect lite Thus
YOU no longer think Of your child physical being You
learn 10 him he really is the spiritual likeness OF God
who has inherited only that which God mparts And this
takes place mans codsNen health and strength become
more evident Disability gives to perfect action and
sickness to health
