Healing Truth

KAROLINE ALEXANDRA KIERSNOWSKI

In these days business depression, unemployment, and distress, generally speaking, often seem to have gained the upper hand. As we examine the situation in the light of Christian Science, the conviction grows upon us that these conditions are the sorry evidences of the erroneous mental state which, having turned away from God, the one perfect Life, and having accepted false mortal concepts, has consequently brought into human experience that which is errouneous and evil.

"This material world is even now becoming the arena for conflicting forces. On one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and peace." So writes Mrs. Eddy on page 96 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." But those who are obedient and loyal to God need not be affected by these phases of disorder, for they have built their spiritual house upon the Rock, Christ, which stands firm and fast, unaffected by the assaulting waves of mortal beliefs. Those who trust in God persistently turn from the material sense of things to spiritual reality, to revealed truth. Through the precious love of God as revealed by Christ Jesus one learns to empty one's thought of false beliefs which would hinder the influx of truth and halt one on his heavenward way. In order not to lose the great blessings which follow this spiritual work, one must watch one's thinking and reject whatever is contrary to divine Mind, Love.

The spiritual record of God's creation, as we are told on page 521 of Science and Health, "should be engraved on the understanding and heart 'with the point of a diamond' and the pen of an angel." God's creation is ever good, and the radiant reality, the primal perfection of spiritual being "when the morning stars sang together" and all was harmony, has not changed, but subsists inviolate. Only the false beliefs of men have veiled and denied perfection; only the so-called material senses deny its existence. These senses, however, testify falsely, and their witness must be refuted and replaced with the revealed truth about God and man.
