"Know" and "Let"

RHODA A. HYMAN

There are two words which it were well to understand, if we would progress in Christian Science. They are "know" and "let." For to know the omnipotence and omnipresence of God and the nothingness of evil and then let Truth do the work, is true wisdom.

The writer was once taught a lesson, when she needed it very much, from her window shade. The room in which she was seated was in shadow; but just outside the window the sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the trees and flowers were beautiful. She realized that all that separated her from the beauty and loveliness outside was a shade which had been pulled down. She pulled on the shade and then let go, and immediately the room was flooded with sunshine. Then the beauty of the trees and the flowers could be appreciated.

So it is with many of our problems. We work and work on them, and sometimes wonder why the problems are not solved. Now, it may not be because the work we have done is not correct,—and surely Truth has not failed,—nor because there is not health, happiness, and an abundance of good ever present, but simply because we have not let go of the false belief. All the goodness, peace, and joy that any of us could possibly need is here for us; and it is only material sense that would seem to deprive us of the blessings which are rightfully ours as God's children. Let us, knowing the power of God, rise superior to the testimony of material sense, which seems to be darkening our consciousness, and let the sunshine of Truth and Love flow in. Let us trust God, for He never fails.
