"Immortal courage"

Evelyn F. Heywood

Of him to whom the Science of being has been revealed in Christian Science, it can be said, in the words of the Psalmist, "His heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord."

How helplessly have men suffered because of fear! And not the least of their torment has been fear of their own fears, lest, as a result, infirmity of purpose or sheer physical inability deflect their judgment or drive them from competition in right endeavor.

Yet Christ Jesus, who demanded nothing of his followers which they could not perform, told those about him not to be afraid; he chided them for their lack of faith in God. The command of Jesus is assured of obedience only when it is recognized as a call not merely to courage, but to spiritual knowing. When men learn to trust God intelligently, scientifically, there is no timidity; their hearts are fixed.
