God Helps in Examinations

[Of Special Interest to Youth]

NINA R. WHITNEY

An experience encountered with regularity today by boys and girls as well as by adults is the necessity to overcome a dread of "exams." The wartime program has necessitated a year-round school term for many, and tests are constantly recurring.

To permit fear of the outcome of a worthy undertaking is to permit error to jeopardize one's purpose. No one who is doing his best should fear to stand the test of his ability.

First of all, the spiritual fact needs to be recognized that in Science there is always a supply for the demand. God, being All-in-all, is therefore the only Mind. This divine Mind is the only Mind which can be manifested in man, who is made in the image of God. This is the only Mind in any situation, for the counterfeit material sense of mind exists only as a false concept and is not the reality of being. The student may rightfully know that God is the one real Mind of instructor and pupil, and is governing the whole experience and the outcome. This Mind inspires the student to do more than just fulfill the requirements, and impels the instructor to be discerning and just. The all-loving Father-Mother, God, never demands of His child more than he is able to accomplish; nor will unerring Mind ever permit one of His children to be unjust toward another.
