Become as little children

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!

    “. . . Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt 18:3, 4) – Citation #3

    Upon re-reading Painting a Poem, the diarylike record of James F. Gilman’s many interactions, visits, and communications with Mrs. Eddy throughout the entire process of creating the illustrations for Mrs. Eddy’s poem, Christ and Christmas, Mr. Gilman comments several times about Mrs. Eddy’s childlikeness – for example: “Her childlikeness impressed me the most,. . .” (p. 23).

    Then, in the “Blue Book” we read this from our beloved Leader: “As a child puts her hand in the hand of a parent, so I have put my hand in the hand of God – and He will never let me go!” (p. 196).

    What a glorious and life-saving thought to keep in mind each and every day – God will NEVER let us go!!

    Thank you to the Plainfield Lesson writer for this beautiful Lesson that addresses the childlike thought that is so integral to our growth and ability to demonstrate Christian Science!
