REST AND RECONSTRUCTION

MARY BEAUSIRE

Reaction to intense human endeavors in the past war has resulted in certain cases in a sense of overstrain, stress, and weariness just at a time when before us there are demands for activity in reconstruction work. To those seeking and needing rest or rehabilitation after their war services there comes an encouraging message through the teachings of Christian Science. This Science teaches that God is the one and only Mind, and that man reflects this Mind. This Mind is ever active and can never be overworked. Man, therefore, expresses this ever-active Mind, and from this basis we can refuse to accept the suggestions of mortal mind regarding fatigue or over-work and rejoice in the truth that man is the uninterrupted reflection of the ever-active Mind.

In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy writes (p. 519): "God rests in action. Imparting has not impoverished, can never impoverish, the divine Mind. No exhaustion follows the action of this Mind, according to the apprehension of divine Science." Increased vigor, activity, and usefulness follow as a natural result of our understanding of man's ability to reflect this divine Mind.
