No Good Thing Will Be Withheld

GERTRUDE SHAW KLAGGE

As one advances in spiritual understanding, as reason is spiritually directed, thought unfolds in a knowledge of God as ever present Love, "who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies." All seekers after Truth may be likened unto Saul of Tarsus, who, Mrs. Eddy tells us in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 326), "beheld the way—the Christ, or Truth—only when his uncertain sense of right yielded to a spiritual sense, which is always right."

In mathematics we have given rules; and we do not expect to receive the right answer to any problem unless we proceed in accordance with the right rule. Then we look for and have the right to a correct answer. Now that Mrs. Eddy has given to the world Science and Health, we have the rules which render applicable the laws of divine Life, contained in the Bible and demonstrated by Christ Jesus. And these divine laws are available to us in the degree of our apprehension and utilization of them.

The writer remembers in her early experience in Christian Science that she continually quoted to others the words of the Bible and Science and Health, but at that time was unable to prove the smallest problem in demonstration of their efficacy, although she had read many times that she must "serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter." She searched her thought diligently to see from what standpoint she was reasoning, how much of Spirit she was reflecting; and she soon found why the answers to her seeming problems were wrong.
