ITTLE folks must read, and it seems that it were better that the stories intended for them should be such as will bring the facts and practical uses of Christian Science into their thoughts, rather than those which fail to teach the true sense of prayer and its purpose. We know that God answers prayer; but we must learn to go to Him "in Spirit and in Truth."
You may feel called upon to criticise the precocity of the little folks herein pictured, but they have several reasons for being as they are. In the first place, the stories are written for children and not for grown-up critics, and the effort is to interest the little one, and at the same time to let him see how he can utilize what he has learned in Science, in his everyday affairs. I do not know that this can be accomplished by better means than through the mouths of children who are meeting problems of their own, even though the processes of reasoning may seem, especially to one who is not a Christian Scientist, too advanced for the child who brings them forth.
Secondly, one who has not been thrown among children who are being brought up in the knowledge of Christian Science, has no idea of their ready and intelligent adoption of Science words and phrases, and the logical conclusions which they are able to draw from the statements of Truth, particularly when they are lovingly trained to this process of reasoning.
Hoping, therefore, that the little folks who live between these covers will be graciously received, I send by them the greeting of a sister in Christian Science.
