Being Rightly Active

LINA ROOS SCHRADER

It has been said that Christian Science is not for a lazy person, because a devoted Christian Scientist needs to exercise constant watchfulness and an untiring interest in demonstrating the truth.

With the desire to be rightly informed concerning world conditions, and because of the skillful methods of disseminating news today, a Christian Scientist finds that, in order to maintain his spiritual freedom through loyalty to Truth, and do his Christianly scientific work for himself and all mankind, he is compelled to be busy. With so much distressing information coming from all sides, were it not for the shield of spiritual thinking he would be tempted to admit fear and dismay.

Happily, however, in the writings of Mary Baker Eddy we have a bounteous store of good from which we may draw to protect ourselves from fear. When one is tempted to become alarmed, one can hold steadfastly to the allness of good. This positive procedure provides heavenly inspiration to maintain in one's consciousness a perfect and an impregnable defense. Why be afraid? Stanchly knowing that God, good, is All gives one sovereign power to overcome belief in evil.
