"A Little Child Shall Lead Them" – CLING THE CLOSER

The Bulletin Board is for gratitude for Christian Science and the Church, as well as timely excerpts from the Bible, the works of Mrs. Eddy, and the early workers that help and encourage. We are very grateful for all posts that conform to these guidelines, but will edit or remove anything that the Practitioners feel is not in complete accord with pure Christian Science or in any way disrespectful of it.

We also ask that you keep your postings as concise as possible. If you quote the Bible, please use The King James Version, as this is what Mrs. Eddy used. Thank you!

    CLING THE CLOSER

    From CS Journal, October 1888

    Selected

    We heard a comforting and delightful sermon recently from the text, “And a little child shall lead them.” The minister used this illustration: We take our little child in our arms out of the bright, gas-lit parlor, to carry it to its bed. The hall is dark, and, almost unconsciously, the tiny arms tighten, the head nestles closer in its trust, because we have come away from the light. So God, for the sake of having us cling more closely, sometimes carries us in the dark. Perhaps it is loss of property, or the going out of dear ones forever from the home, or the weary struggle for bread, or the coldness of those who have been valued friends. God is carrying us in the dark. Do we cling closer, trust more fully?—Selected.
