The Middle Course of Truth

ELLA W. HOAG

THE middle course of Truth is always positive. One who follows it never swerves from one side to the other, but goes straight forward always in company with Principle. He starts with a right purpose and presses ever onward in a direct line to the fulfillment of this purpose. He wastes no time loitering in bypaths; nor does he turn aside seeking to enrich himself with that which pretends to offer good, but simply hinders and obstructs. The very fact of this adherence to a positive, direct path tends to give fresh impetus to his progress, since it is under Principle's ever operative law that good adhered to inevitably accumulates.

Error, on the other hand, offers no fixed purpose. It is ever negative in tendency, and because it has no association with Principle one under its control veers from one side to another imagining he may thus gain a sense of vigor and capability, but finds it to be entirely without foundation or substance.

When the student enters upon the demonstration of Christian Science in his daily living, he does not always quickly see that the middle course of Truth is one which will enable him to reach his goal in the quickest and best possible way.
