The care with which all machinery is cleansed and oiled,...

The care with which all machinery is cleansed and oiled, so that neither dust nor friction will wear the parts, is suggestive to us as Christian Scientists. Our mental work goes on without friction when we are constantly purifying thought, "even as he is pure;" and when thought is anointed with the "oil of gladness." If this oil is applied only to the surface, however, the inevitable inner friction will soon be expressed outwardly in jarring discord, instead of in the quiet, harmonious activity that should characterize thought and life, and that will characterize it when, from the never-failing cruse, we continually pour into the inmost recesses of consciousness this cleansing, softening, harmonizing oil.—Ada J. Miller.
