"Sit down, Kathie," said her teacher, indicating a chair near her. "I hope I am making progress," she added, growing suddenly grave. "I find there is need enough of it, and I have been both on the mount and into the valley to-day." "That is the experience of everyone," was the smiling reply, "but it all means progress just the same." "I see that everyone who begins to get a glimpse of the truth, in Christian Science, must also begin to live it at once, if he is honest." "Yes, we have to live it in order to prove it." "And the first thing to do is, as Jesus commanded, to have one God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. That word 'love' has taken on a new meaning for me to-day, Kathie. It means an impersonal love, which, like the 'rain'--in Jesus' simile--'falls alike upon the just and the unjust.'" Katherine lifted questioning eyes to the speaker, for her voice was now accusingly serious. "And one cannot demonstrate the Love that is God," she went on, "unless he loves in that way--without regard to personality." "That is true--how quickly you grasp these things!" said her companion. "Ah! but I have grasped something, with this, that is not at all agreeable," said the woman, with a peculiar glitter in her eyes which the girl had never seen there before. "How so? Pardon me, though, I should not have asked that," corrected Katherine, flushing. "But I am going to tell you all the same," said Miss Reynolds. "Ten years ago my father died. He was supposed to be a rich man, but when his affairs were settled my mother and I were left with almost nothing. His partner represented that the firm was heavily involved, but said if we would sign our interest in the business over to him, for a certain amount, he would perhaps manage to pull through and save us the expense of having things adjusted by law. We were not at all satisfied with the state of affairs, but we were helpless, as we had no money to spend in litigation, and we were forced to accept his terms. He made over to us a small house on the outskirts of our town, together with a mere pittance, which barely served to support us until I secured a position as teacher. I have taken care of my mother and myself ever since. But that man and his family have never abated their style of living one whit, and are to-day rolling in luxury. There can be no doubt that we were robbed of a fortune, and yet there was no possible way of proving it. I have never been able to meet or even think of that man since, without smarting as under a lash, and with a feeling of resentment and a sense of personal injury that never fail to give me a sick headache, if I allow my thoughts to dwell upon him. That isn't love, Kathie." "No," gravely; but the voice was also very tender. "Everything is either 'for' or 'against' in Christian Science?" "Yes."
