Maintaining the True View

[Written Especially for Young People]

ALICE CORTRIGHT

A YOUNG Christian Scientist was confronted with a perplexing situation. There did not seem to be any way out, yet his understanding of Christian Science assured him that there could be no problem without its proper solution, beneficial to all concerned.

As he endeavored to apply his understanding in dealing with the situation, he walked away from the city and sat down meditatively at the edge of a small wooded spot. All at once he heard the motor of an airplane and, as he looked up, he thought he saw the plane circling slowly above him. But as he watched, suddenly wings flapped lazily, and he perceived that what he had mistaken for a plane was only a small bird. Far beyond, appearing much smaller than the bird, went a commericial airplane.

The lesson went home. This problem seems so big to me, thought he, because I have been looking at it the wrong way, because I have not gained the right standpoint, or the right view.
