"NO CHANGE MY HEART SHALL FEAR"

WARREN H. SMITH

The so-called material world seems subject to continual change. Some changes appear to be for the better, others for the worse. Many live in the fear that these changes can affect detrimentally their supply, their freedom, their health, or even life itself. Others have learned in Christian Science that they can rise above the belief of false fluctuations and change through the realization that, in Science, God and His universe, including man, are changeless and indestructible—always perfect and complete, never requiring improvement, never subject to deterioration.

They know that in truth they have no change to fear. They see that apparent alterations in human experience need not be disturbing, for these may be the result of more spiritualized thinking; or if not, they can present further opportunity to demonstrate to a higher degree the ever-availability of God, good, to heal every false situation.

It is interesting to note that in her writings our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, uses the word change and its synonyms only in connection with the human or mortal, never as applied to the divine. Indeed, she has made it clear that God and His idea are immutable. In the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," she states (p. 140), "The Christian Science God is universal, eternal, divine Love, which changeth not and causeth no evil, disease, nor death." Elsewhere she says (ibid., p. 310), "There is neither growth, maturity, nor decay in Soul."
