Heights of Holiness

Kate E. Andreae

How much can be accomplished in the daily round if we but understand something of the adjustment which takes place in human affairs through thinking as God causes His children to think—by bringing the inspiration gained on the hilltops of Zion into our attitude towards our fellow men! In our intercourse with one another, how can we help and uplift, how break down the walls of separation erected by false education by the idiosyncrasies of so-called mortal mind, by difficult temperaments, stubborn willfulness, jealousy, and selfishness, so often seeming to reign within?

How can we reach that progressive state of consciousness, of purification, of which Mrs. Eddy speaks in "Miscellaneous Writings" (pp. 184, 185), "even mortal mind purged of the animal and human, and submerged in the humane and divine, giving back the lost sense of man in unity with, and reflecting, his Maker"? The Christian Scientist seeks and finds this lost ideal. Wherever he looks for God's child, and if sincere and faithful he will find him everywhere. From the hilltop of inspired thinking he brings his vision of the allness of good into the vales of difficulty and trial. He is not dismayed, for he knows that nothing can resist the mighty power of Love which transforms the heart that has, perhaps, become hardened through contact with the world. Such wayfarers are in need of the comfort of true compassion.

He who is learning to live in accordance with the demands of divine Principle is finding that every detail of his daily life, and also of individual or universal progress and unfoldment, must be sought not in matter, but in Mind. As day by day he ascends above the mists of material sense, his concept of humanity likewise rises higher, and in obedience to unerring divine guidance he makes his way to those who need the knowledge which he has so far attained, and which under God's direction he must share with hungering and receptive hearts. Divine Love demands that every lofty mental attainment be utilized and made practical in order that it may bless and uplift the world.
