A Word to Beginners

BY MINNA TRAIN.

Ought we to expect our lives to work in harmony if we let all the worries and absorbing cares of the everyday material existence come into our thoughts first?

When we learn to begin our day with the consciousness of the omnipotence of God, eternal Good, and to realize that in this government there is no place for discord or trouble, I am sure it will bring to each one of us wonderful results. When we are young in the Christian Science thought it seems very easy to say "I must attend to this or that duty or pleasure first, but later in the day I will find time for my study of the Sunday lesson and for the reading and work so vital to our progress in the understanding of God." The only sure way, is to start the day with the God-thoughts, even though you may have to rise earlier to secure the extra time. By so doing you will find that many seeming difficulties are smoothed away, and you will have a keener sense of the presence of divine Love, always near at hand, protecting and guiding your every footstep.

To those just looking into Christian Science who seem to find our text-book difficult to understand, I would say: Take the Quarterly and study the carefully prepared lessons for each Sunday, and then see if the Bible does not become illuminated and a new book, through the wonderful explanations of Science and Health. Every week these lessons grow stronger and clearer, and by this constant and sincere study I am sure that little by little the glorious truths of Christian Science will dawn upon human consciousness and you will gradually awake to the realizing sense of the inexhaustible treasures of this wonderful book.
