THE RIGHT WAY TO UNTANGLE SNARLS

GLADYS ELLA GIBBS

It is normal and natural to desire consistent harmony in daily living and pleasant association with all with whom one comes in contact. This happy state can be brought about through a working knowledge of Christian Science, the nineteenth-century discovery of the Science of Life and its rules and a reinstatement of primitive Christianity. Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of this metaphysical truth and author of its textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," has provided many illuminating statements regarding harmony. One of these, on page 560 of this work, reads, "Heaven represents harmony, and divine Science interprets the Principle of heavenly harmony."

Christian Science teaches that man's harmony cannot be invaded. Mrs. Eddy's writings abound in explanations of what the spiritual state of harmony is and how it can be understood and thus demonstrated in everyday experience.

God is the Principle of spiritual harmony, and this divine Principle is Love, that Love of which St. John writes in his first epistle when he states the scientific fact (4:8), "God is love." Christian Science works its wonders in human consciousness by enlightening it with the truths of God. man, and the universe. All human experience is colored by the concepts mankind entertain of the Supreme Being. As thought expands through acceptance of the nature of God as revealed in Science, and as false concepts give place to the true, human experience undergoes a change. Discord of every name and nature— physical, mental, financial, and domestic—begins to disappear, and harmony in everyday living becomes a normal condition.
