No Division of Days

WILBUR F. WEBB

We all have heard allusions to "the good old days." Our grandfathers have spoken of them; and it is reasonable to suppose that their grandfathers also longingly pointed backward to the "glorious past," so called. Are not we ourselves inclined to place over the past a halo of brightness and happiness, thereby admitting into our consciousness a sense of loss in the present, and thus claiming to separate ourselves from the eternal good? Honest seekers after Truth, honest students of Christian Science, thanks to the generous and profound teachings of their Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, are living in good days, God's days, now.

With the consciousness of universal good, of good play, good work, good thoughts, good rest, good service, one is indeed able to meet his fellow-man and bid him "Good day," and mean it, thereby being at-one with the creator, God, good. As in God there is not a sense of both presence and absence, of power and lack of power, of knowledge and lack of knowledge, but only of all-presence, all-power, all-knowledge, so in the consciousness of God's man there is no division, but a sense of eternal oneness.

We are all God's children, and should avail ourselves of the ever-presence of God, "the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." We should forget divisions, taking cognizance of the one and only presence in the eternal now. The realization of this consciousness is metaphysical, not physical; spiritual, not material. Physical laws tell of hours and minutes, days and years, periods and centuries. Spiritual law has to do with the eternal present, not with the limited sense of time.
