A Perfect Heart

Violet Ker Seymer

In Proverbs it is written, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." These words offer full comfort to those concerned about their moral or physical standard, their health and longevity. Spiritually interpreted, they turn thought away from the material to the spiritual, from bondage to freedom. Who would not be rid of suffering if he could? Who would not acquire undimmed joy, together with wisdom, activity, abounding health and strength, guidance and success in all his undertakings? Christian Science points the way both to the riddance and the acquisition.

The inquirer who turns to Christian Science to restore his health soon discovers from his study of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, that he must outgrow the old belief that life is organic and material, and must acknowledge God, Spirit, as the one universal Life of all here and now. As he surrenders the old fears and dwells with confidence on his heritage as the offspring of Love, Spirit, he finds himself expressing health and vigor on a new basis—the sound basis of Spirit.

Many a one lavishly expending time, thought, and funds in cultivating health according to material theories may disregard the more vital question of his thoughts and feelings. Unmindful of their detrimental effect on health and longevity, he may habitually indulge in irritability, worry, and other errors which are minus life and truth.
