We Must Be Willing to Change!

KIMMIS HARTLEY HENDRICK

"We soil our garments with conservatism, and afterwards we must wash them clean," declares Mary Baker Eddy in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures'" (p. 452); and again she writes in the textbook (p. 167), "Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized." These are messages for the hour.

One type of conservatism holds on to matter for fear that the loss of it will mean loss of good, while "radical reliance" is a God-sustained position, deep-rooted in the knowledge that God, Love, is All. Confident of the supporting power of God it rejoicingly affirms that "underneath are the everlasting arms" (Dent. 33:27).

Paul referred to the inevitability of Truth when he observed that "we shall all be changed" (I Cor. 15:51). Resistance to Truth's unchanging power cheats the individual not only of his own good but of his right to share good with others. Why? Because it imprisons him within the confines of mortal belief and theory.
