GOD'S PRESENCE

CYRIL H. GOLDING

Christ Jesus came showing clearly that the presence of God is the presence of Spirit and not of finite person. The deep significance of this, however, was largely lost sight of in the succeeding centuries until Mary Baker Eddy again set forth in Christian Science the truth of God's continuous presence. She writes in her poem entitled "The Mother's Evening Prayer" (Poems, p. 4):

"O gentle presence, peace and joy and power;
O Life divine, that owns each waiting hour,
Thou Love that guards the nestling's faltering flight!
Keep Thou my child on upward wing tonight."
