Reversing the Material Fable

ALFRED LEEPER WILES

Unfortunately for humankind, the accumulative effect of centuries of erroneous thinking about business and about supply has periodically culminated in conditions such as the present universal business depression. Finding themselves confronted by this experience, calling itself "depression" and claiming for itself a power that would threaten the very life of multitudes and to some extent the comfort and well-being of all, men have cast about in matter for a cause, with the idea of applying an effective remedy.

However, for a remedy which can prove really effective, we must look above matter and mortal experience. In fact, we must carry the problem in prayer to our heavenly Father. Christ Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," and, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

No matter what economic conditions may seem to have caused the experience we call "depression," the fact is that it is the culmination of general erroneous thinking. The question then occurs as to how we shall proceed to rid ourselves of this sinister error, this self-styled law of limitation. The remedy is plain and effective. Since the seeming discordant and hurtful condition was brought about by erroneous thinking, the remedy must lie in right thinking.
