Business

GLADYS WOOLLEY JOHNSON

WHAT is business? According to a standard dictionary a definition of "business" is "that which one has the right to do or ought to do." Speaking absolutely, there is only one thing that each "has the right to do or ought to do," and that is to reflect God.

This may sound abstract to one who is seeking aid in the solving of a business problem, but as one learns what God is and what man is, as the reflection of God, one begins to realize how the truth is applicable to every need. Christian Science teaches that God is Mind, Principle, Love, Life, Soul, Spirit, Truth. This shows that God is not a physical being, but is divine ever-presence. As one learns what God really is, one sees that the only way to express Him is through correct thinking. It would be impossible to express Mind in any other way.

Human endeavor places men in many different kinds of business; but regardless of the type of business in which a man may be engaged, he has one duty to perform, and that is to express or reflect God.
