The Glory That Is Man's

EVELYN F. HEYWOOD

He who finds himself finds glory, for glory is inseparable from man. Man is in fact, the eternal witness to glory, inasmuch as he is God's representative, from whom all glory emanates. How do we find and preserve this glory which is man's, and which neither fades nor perishes; which knows no coming and going; which is dependent upon no mortal verdict, no personal judgment or computation; which is not dimmed by human disregard, nor enhanced by human adulation?

Only spiritual sense can bear witness to glory. Material sense, clamoring for recognition, has accepted the counterfeit and has believed it to be real. It has named that glory which can be attained only through mortal means, through strife and domination, manipulation and compromise.

On page 122 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany," Mary Baker Eddy writes (p. 122), "That glory only is imperishable which is fixed in one's own moral make-up." Nothing will ever rob anyone of this glory who knows that its source, its inspiration, and therefore its eternality are in God.
