Children and adults

Christian Science, properly understood, would dis- abuse the human mind of material beliefs which war against spiritual facts; and these material beliefs must be denied and cast out to make place for truth. You cannot add to the contents of a vessel already full. Laboring long to shake the adult's faith in matter and to inculcate a grain of faith in God, - an inkling of the ability of Spirit to make the body har- monious, - the author has often remembered our Master's love for little children, and understood how truly such as they belong to the heavenly kingdom.
