Good Is Here

HAROLD G. MORRIS

IN human experience it may sometimes seem that there is very little or, perhaps, no means with which to meet human needs. The demand may seem so great, and the resources so limited, that the outcome may at best appear very uncertain. The need may be for employment, for more abundant supply, health, comfort, or courage to face the problems at hand. A poet has said, "Hope springs eternal in the human breast;" and it is indeed natural to hope, or to expect, that sometime conditions will be changed and a fuller measure of good be experienced.

To those in need, Christian Science offers more than shadowy hope or uncertain promises. It offers a definite and effective method of solving problems for those who are willing to learn and to apply the rules given by Mary Baker Eddy in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."

The first sentence in the Preface to this volume (p. vii) is. "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, to-day is big with blessings." Today is now. Now are blessings available to those in need. Now are blessings available to those prepared to receive them. To qualify for the reception of blessings, one must know whence they come. The Apostle James said, "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Those "leaning on the sustaining infinite" are those who are recognizing God as the source of all good, and depending upon Him at all times. Good is inseparable from God, for God is good. Because with God there "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning," we can safely turn to Him, knowing that He supplies all good and meets every legitimate need.
