We
are told that when the children of Israel, fleeing before the wrath of Pharaoh, reached the shores of the Red Sea and were seemingly shut off from all escape, they were sore afraid.
The
student of Christian Science, earnestly striving to work out the problem of being, very soon realizes that the unfoldment and demonstration in the individual consciousness of a correct understanding of God, and of man's relation to God, is the task set before him by the Scriptural admonition to "work out your own salvation.
Full-armored
, as God's children, we are commissioned to wage a warfare against the evil beliefs that beset the human race, until Soul reigns triumphant.
