There Is No Lack

CONSTANCE S. SAMMIS

Christian Scientists are today offered a glorious opportunity for aiding mankind. Hunger, homelessness, insecurity, fear are gripping the lives of millions of humans. Do not Christian Scientists face a challenge in the words (II Cor. 6:17). "Come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord"—separate from the mesmeric beliefs that are causing so much suffering?

In deep gratitude to God and to our Leader. Mary Baker Eddy, for giving us the means whereby to correct our thinking and free ourselves from the false beliefs of lack, limitation, and sin, we should be willing to spend time daily in gaining the spiritual understanding of God's allness with which to rebuke and reverse these beliefs. Though we should not abstain from taking all possible human footsteps to bind up the wounds of a war-torn world, our greatest contribution is our clear realization of the truth about God's man.

The good that can be accomplished for all mankind is immeasurable. By quiet, scientific knowing we can work to realize the unreality of the famine, homelessness, and want in the world. We can resolutely replace these beliefs of limitation with the truth of God's allness and of His loving care for all His children.
