Reflection

A. P. BLACKLER.

How much do we understand of what is meant by this word reflection in Christian Science? It covers the whole ground in our work. Webster gives several definitions of the word, some of which exactly fit the Christian Scientist. In fact, a Christian Scientist is simply a "reflector." In the degree that we understand that we are a reflector pure and simple, with no power of our own, are we Christian Scientists.

A few of the definitions of Webster that fit our case particularly well, are: "Reflect. To give back an image of; to attend earnestly to what passes within the mind."

Are we giving to the world in our daily life an image of our dear Master? Are we reflecting his life in ours? Are we following his example thereby reflecting Good and Love? In just the degree that we are reflecting his Life, are we truly Christians.
