"Semper paratus is Truth's motto"

SVEND PONTOPPIDAN BROBY

When Job expressed his longing for God, "Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!" he voiced a desire uppermost in many a weary heart today as humanity looks for a way to solve its perplexing problems. As Job found that the arguments of his friends were not right concerning God, so in our day individuals and nations are finding inadequate their efforts to solve their problems on the basis of an incorrect concept of God and man. "I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee," was the interesting declaration made by Job when the truth about the situation dawned upon his consciousness and he was healed.

When individuals awake to recognize the Christ, Truth, a great change takes place in their thinking; and thus gradually, as the world's thinking is transformed, the result will be universal brotherhood and peace. It is evident that a great transformation is taking place in the world's thinking at this moment. Men are becoming conscious of the appearing of a new order, demanding more attention to the things of Spirit. The "still small voice" of Truth silently but persistently is reshaping the destiny of humanity. A transformation is taking place in human consciousness, bringing to light the real and harmonious, where before seemed to be inharmony and strife. Such mental chemicalization may appear to bring to the surface much that is undesirable, and greed and selfishness may seem to be the order of the day. But Christian Science shows conclusively that these are but unreal, passing phases of the carnal mind, having no foundation in Truth. God "will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is."

It is interesting to note that Job's trials were not the result of deliberate wrongdoing or sin, for we are told that Job was an upright and perfect man, who "feared God, and eschewed evil." Evidently his discordant condition was caused by his acceptance of a false belief or suggestion that God was not the only power, and that man could be separated from good. With the realization of the truth of God's omnipotence, however, came his relief from this mesmeric belief.
