RIGHT KNOWING PRODUCES RIGHT RESULTS

BEN J. FEWKES

Recently a student of Christian Science was entrusted with a commission which involved obtaining the permission of certain government authorities to proceed with an export project. Although application had been made for this permission on four previous occasions, it had always been refused. The reason given for the refusal seemed incomprehensible to the company making the application.

The first thought of the student when asked to undertake this mission was that with God everything is possible. He then examined the project to see if it would result in blessing to all concerned and be productive only of good. Convinced that it would, the student found comfort in the truth that he of himself could do nothing, but that God bestows infinite intelligence on man.

As soon as his business associates learned that permission was to be sought again, this time by means of a personal visit, the student was reminded of the saving that "it isn't what you know, but whom you know that counts." The student rejected the wrong implications of this statement and reminded himself that it was Jesus' knowing of the truths of perfect God and perfect man which brought about his marvelous and instantaneous healings of sin and sickness.
