The Healing that Makes no History

W.

THE good and true alone have liberty and law of propagation, but if they may be anticipated, and the riches of their fruitage be effectively planned for and assured, no less certainly and wisely may evil be foreseen and its manifestations forestalled. Indeed, the only authorized history of any error is the history of its interdiction, and to this end Christian Science has come.

The best word we can ever write about a noxious weed or a bad temper is that a long time before their beginnings, we carefully and patiently gathered up all the seed and destroyed it. This is what gives such significance to the word protection as it is used in Christian Science, a word that should be as fully identified with our daily habit as it is with our vocabulary.

Before the morning stars sang together the eternal maintenance of all good things was provided for in the tender and unwearying activities of Love, and they be happy hearts and homes where alert and illumined thought makes permanent place for peace and joy by denying both ingress and reality to every sense of lurking ill which, without these daily demonstrations, would assert its presence and maintain its sway. Protection through Truth is thought for all time, but its realization is always immediate, and if in watchfulness and gratitude we are proving the keeping power of Love to-day we need not fear for our safety to-morrow.
