ut it, and I asked Fred what he did
when he treated.

"W'y," he answered, "w'y, I just 'membered what you said to Mabel that
everybody has two kinds o' thoughts, and one kind _thinks_ you're sick,
and the other kind _knows_ you're well, so I thinked about Jamie till I
thinked the _know_ thoughts, and _course_ he got well then."

"It was a lesson to me, and I have tried to emulate their receptiveness
and childlike trust. I don't know how well I am succeeding, but it is
pretty hard sometimes to get the problems all worked out."

"We wouldn't have to work them out if we had the faith of a child," said
Kate, warmly. These little incidents touched her deeply.

"Well, there is nothing better to learn from than living examples, and
yet we can only take them as guides, they will not do our work for us.
Every one of us must go through his own experience, and prove his right
to an inheritance, by claiming it on trust as the child does. Now,

came,'" Mr. Hayden concluded with a grave smile.

"I believe that is what it means to 'work out our own salvation,'" said
Grace, "and how beautiful to have the children learn! It will make
different men and women of them."

"Indeed it will; I have already seen some change in the children. But
are you not going to read the letter, Miss Grace?" asked Mr. Hayden.

"Yes, I am anxious to read it, but I have learned a great deal without
it."

She took it up again and read without interruption to the end.

"Well, that _is_ quite an explanation of your experience of yesterday,
Mr. Hayden," explained Kate smilingly.

"And mine, too," added Grace. "It is comforting to know that there is a
scientific reason for it though."

"I think my darkness came earlier in the lessons, for yesterday and
