No Return to Positions Outgrown

CONSTANCE F. BURNHAM

Promise and inspiration for the returning veteran are to be found in Paul's words (I Cor. 2:9. 10): "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit."

Service people returning from the war are asking each other. "Are you going back to your old job?" For many of these men and women the absence from civilian living has been quite long, and has taken away the years that normally would have been given to college or business.

Comfort may be found in Mary Baker Eddy's definition of the word "day" in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." It reads in part (p. 584). "The objects of time and sense disappear in the illumination of spiritual understanding, and Mind measures time according to the good that is unfolded." So no one should measure the past four or more years of war by days and months; they can be measured aright only by the good that has unfolded in individual experience.
