"Thou hast been Faithful"

BY EDITH MESSICK.

The abiding consciousness of ever-present Good, in the working out of each problem, should, it seems to me, be the so-called larger demonstrations, or the continuous routine of daily duties. It enables the "Thou hast been faithful, ... I will make thee ruler," —the rainbow of promise,—to be continually manifest to our illumined vision.

Not one truly Christianly Scientific effort is ever put forth without this result, for every battle fought and won for Truth and Love against flesh and evil, enables one to be "more than conqueror" in the next warfare. And thus it will ever be, until in the continually and always "Thou hast been faithful," we shall be enabled to realize a complete victory, and heaven and harmony will be found forever established among men. Then man will no longer be the helpless victim of chance, but will find his true inheritance, as the image and after the likeness of God, having dominion and not subjected to the evils of materiality. "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" says, page 569, "The Scripture, 'Thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many," is literally fulfilled, when we are conscious of the supremacy of Truth, whereby the nothingness of error is seen, and we know that its nothingness is in proportion to its wickedness."

My gratitude and love for our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who has illumined the darkness of the world by giving us Science and Health, I cannot express in words. To-day, more than ever before, do I send out thanksgiving and renewed thankfulness for this added blessing which has been brought to us by our dear Mother's untiring labor for us, in the latest edition of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," leading us gently another footstep heavenward.
