TITHING

JOHN B. MC KEE

The healing of lack and fear of it through Christian Science is natural and quite general among Christian Scientists. Spiritual understanding constantly maintained in human consciousness presents the evidence of true substance, even that substance of which the Holy Scriptures bear record. Our Father-Mother God, the Principle of all true harmony and peace, manifests His love and mercy to His own in a continuous and unending outpouring of His bounty and goodness. God, divine Love, is ever calling to human thought to come and see.

Our Maker has no favorites, nor is luck a factor in the realism of being. True being is harmonious because its origin is in good, perfect God. Mary Baker Eddy, in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 591), defines man as "the compound idea of infinite Spirit; the spiritual image and likeness of God; the full representation of Mind."

Mind is never separated from idea, and idea is never separated from Mind. They coexist, but idea is never Mind. Man is never God. Mind is expressed in ideas, and Mind is One. The sun's rays exist as one with the sun and are inseparable from it. All that the rays are or have is derived from the sun. Just as the rays are never the sun, but the effect or reflection of the sun, so man is the eternal reflection of God, and all that man has, is in and of God.
