"Be prepared"

[Written Especially for Young People]

J. MAYNARD HILL

An important lesson may be learned from the familiar and simple motto of the Boy Scouts of America, "Be prepared."

What does it mean to be prepared for evil happenings, or for opportunities to do good?

To be prepared means, to the student of Christian Science, to hold oneself expectant and ready, not for evil, but for good only. The student's preparedness, however, includes more than a mere waiting expectancy of good. It involves an active readiness to use the truths of Science, which reveal God and spiritual man, in correcting conditions of inharmony, in removing through right thinking any obstacles that may seem to stand in the path of his daily progress. Thus do students of Christian Science prove for themselves the trustworthiness of the Scriptural promise, "All things work together for good to them that love God."
