"The place whereon thou standest"
A BELIEF that material possessions are necessary to happiness seems to be inherent in human thought. In the attempt to acquire these seeming requisites of happiness many phases of human belief present themselves. Sometimes it is thought that more money, or new friends and associates, will bring the desired result, or that a complete change of scene and employment is essential. The last-named supposition is perhaps the most subtle of all. It has resulted many times in disrupted homes and much unhappiness.
Christian Science teaches that God is infinite good, and therefore everywhere present. Since this is true, is it possible to find more of divine good in one place than in another? If lack of any kind should seem to present itself, can it be remedied in any other way than by an increased understanding of God's allness? And this understanding is not gained by moving about, but by quiet, steadfast adherence to the truth as taught and demonstrated by Christ Jesus, and by his follower Mary Baker Eddy.
In "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 150) our Leader writes: "God is universal; confined to no spot, defined by no dogma, appropriated by no sect. Not more to one than to all, is God demonstrable as divine Life, Truth, and Love; and His people are they that reflect Him—that reflect Love."
