"The confidence inspired by Science"

THE HON. LILIAN LADY BROMLEY

The prevalence of superstitious beliefs is a stumbling block too often unrecognized or ignored by humanity. St. Paul warned the "men of Athens" against this evil when he said, "I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious." Superstition may try to interfere with one's highest motives and hopes as well as with the experiences of one's everyday life.

It is of very real importance, then, if the individual would progress spiritually, that he free himself from superstitious beliefs which would rob him of so much good; for to bow down to such false gods would interfere with beneficial decision and action, and thereby deprive him of mental freedom, peace, and unfoldment of wisdom.

In reality, superstition has no inherent power, and can be proved in Christian Science to be without law, intelligence, cause, or effect. Therefore, it would indeed be to the great advantage of all to give superstition no power by believing in it or fearing it. The blessing of freedom from and dominion over such fears not only would bring reward to oneself, but would certainly help to free others.
