"Agree with thine adversary"

CHARLES W. HALE

In these tempestuous days when the "adversary" seems to be walking about "seeking whom he may devour," Christian Scientists need to defend themselves against any sense of lethargy, or acquiescence in material beliefs, depression, or distress. The genuine, alert Christian Scientist is undaunted by the claims of carnal mind and rises with joy to meet every adverse condition or circumstance. He knows that the power of God is unfailing; and in that power he goes forward to face every foe with calmness, joy, assurance, and the certainty of victory.

During the last few years the world has faced what may be considered one of its greatest opportunities. Amid the mesmeric claims of mortal mind it has not been easy for mankind to discern this, but when the situation is analyzed from the viewpoint of Christian Science the opportunity is recognized.

In their striving to find material ways out of this wilderness men have many times said that there are no more frontiers to be conquered; that the days of individualism are past, and that the incentive for initiative and mastery is lessened in the different conditions of today. So it may seem from a materialistic viewpoint, but it is not so from the spiritual viewpoint.
