It is the natural desire of everyone to want to do his best—whether it be in work or play. This is one of the things that make sports enjoyable, and one reason for considering them valuable.

A mother was once watching her daughter play in the finals of a tennis tournament. It was a close match and both sides were putting up a splendid game, but it began to look as though the daughter and her partner were weakening. Between sets, as they were changing sides, the girl ran to her mother and asked her to give her some help in Science. Now, the mother had always taught her children that there was no problem, be it ever so small, that could not immediately be taken to God, Mind; and so in response to this call, she set herself to think correctly about the situation.

In Science and Health (p. 128) Mrs. Eddy has said, "The term Science, properly understood, refers only to the laws of God and to His government of the universe,inclusive of man." Then she goes on to explain that Christian Science gives men "an ability to exceed their ordinary capacity," and adds, "The human mind, imbued with this spiritual understanding, becomes more elastic, is capable of greater endurance, escapes somewhat from itself, and requires less repose."
