Probably
one of the most noticeable changes which take place in the lives of those who have gained an understanding of Christian Science is the way in which they employ their time.
As
we approach the semiannual communion service in the Christian Science branch churches, we may well consider the deep meaning of sacrament, and be grateful for that higher understanding of Truth which is received through the study of Christian Science, and which enables us to drop the material symbols so long associated with this observance.
HOW
much better the world will be when all men measure achievement in terms of service rather than in terms of material gain! What wells of inspiration and joy are discovered by the individual who turns his thought toward ways and means of unselfishly doing for his fellow men as he would have them do for him! And the joy of serving those one loves may be even surpassed by serving those who seem to be one's enemies.
