 “MOTHER,” said a dear little girl one day, “you’ve told me that God is within me like a great Light, and that He is in everyone else, too. Now how can He be in me and you and everyone else all at the same time?”

 ONCE there was a wonderful, beautiful Fairy called Love. Now this Fairy didn’t have a body like ours. Indeed not! Her body was a dazzling white Light that could shine—Oh, so far! Now if you have ever watched the sunlight coming through a window or shining through a peek-hole you will have noticed that it looks just like a long, shiny finger.

 Oh! how happy were the Fingers now, “You darling, darling Fairy! How we love you! You’ll never be sorry you gave us this wonderful gift!” they exclaimed in joy.

 “Just think about the first part of the story today,” said Mother, “and tomorrow you’ll hear what the little Fingers did with their new gift, and perhaps you will better understand the answer to your question which made me tell the story.”

 WITH great joy the little Fingers began making a world for themselves with their thoughts and feelings. It was all sorts of fun. Red Finger said, “Look! My thoughts have made a sky above me, earth beneath me, and air all around me. I see you, too, little Blue Finger. Just see how different my thoughts are making you look—not near so shiny as you did!”

 And never did it occur to them that THEIR OWN THOUGHTS were causing everything good or bad!

 “Oh, Mother,” cried Colombe, “I’m never going to blame other people for anything again. I’m going to try to let only nice, loving thoughts in. And, Mother, have I honestly lived on this earth many, many times, and must I keep on being born again in baby bodies?”

 “Well, Colombe,” smiled Mother, “the end of our fairy story will explain that quite clearly; and since it is not very long I will tell it to you now.”

 BLUE FINGER had made for himself so many baby bodies, and had lived in them while they grew first big and strong, then wornout and useless, so very many times, that at last he began to lose his interest in this world of things his thoughts had made, and he began to wish for something better. As soon as he really in his heart longed for better, finer things, this feeling opened up a tiny little channel through which the Love Fairy could send her Light and softly speak to Him.

 And so Blue Finger at last was truly happy again, and had the constant joy of feeling Love working through him and of watching the happiness this brought to others. He didn’t stop living in a body, though, because Love wanted him where the other Fingers could see him, so that he could better show them how to find their way back to her. Some listened and learned very fast to open a channel to Love; but others would not listen to anything Blue Finger would tell them, for they were still very interested in their body and world. Love was not worried, however, because she knew that some day, they too, would become tired of the mess they had made, and come back to her, even as had Blue Finger.
