RECEDING HORIZONS

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

MABEL REED HYZER

Looking through his office window, a student of Christian Science enjoyed the view of the ocean, the blue sky of the summer day, and the palm trees on the shore. There were ships and smaller boats in the distance. But just beyond was a limit to the view in what we call the horizon. We know, however, that when we approach the place where the horizon seems to be, it always recedes and can never be reached; and the original boundary it seemed to form disappears.

Just as the horizon on the physical landscape limits the ocean to our view, so sometimes there seems to be a mental horizon temporarily hiding progress or legitimate advancement in human affairs. But just as no horizon can bound the ocean, so no material conditions can form a boundary for or limit the expression of divine activity in human affairs.
