Refuse to Swing!

ELEANOR LORD DRURY

Christ Jesus, the great Exemplar, fulfilled his mission in perfect steadfastness. He never deviated from the scientific facts concerning God and man. He stood against the influence of suggestion, and fixed his gaze on the one course, keeping to it in firmness and constancy of purpose. As Jesus is our example, should we not strive to emulate his steadiness of thought and action under all circumstances, and refuse to swing between fact and fable, between the real and the unreal?

The first chapter of Genesis gives an account of the spiritual creation which Christian Science accepts as true. This record shows that God pronounced all that He had made to be "very good." Hence all is good, and good is all, because God is the only creator. This fact remains fixed, unchanging, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Proportionately as one accepts the fact that all reality is good, thought ceases to swing between fact and fable, between Truth and error, good and evil, Spirit and matter. This mental swinging originated in the argument that evil is present and is as powerful as Truth.
