True Responsibility

ETHEL WAINRIGHT

The human mind, or carnal mind as Paul aptly termed it, is prone to burden itself by assuming a false sense of responsibility. The human assumption which claims as its own the attributes that are of divine origin alone, would rob us of man's birthright of divine reflection, thereby cutting us off from the true source of all power and blessedness.

In spite of the constant Biblical reminder, "In the beginning . . ., " how slow humanity is to realize the truth as given to the world by the prophets, by Christ Jesus, and in these later days by our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy—namely, that God, good, does govern and control the lives of His children! Through the knowledge of the Father as infinite divine Mind, and of man as the expression of this Mind, Christian Scientists are daily demonstrating this truth, there-by blessing both themselves and others.

One such demonstration, though small, was of great help to a student of Christian Science. She wished to call on a relative who, being sick, had been taken to her daughter's home to be cared for. The student had naturally turned her steps towards the home of the daughter, when, almost as if a voice had spoken, she became conscious that she would not find the relative there, but at the relative's own home. She obeyed the inward voice, and found this to be the case.
