COMMENCEMENT DAY

Commencement day! What memories these words bring to many of advancing years, and what joy and expectancy to those who are just completing their school days! Words of wisdom and encouragement are given at the commencement exercises, farewells are said among friends, congratulations received, and the students are ready to embark on a career or to pursue a higher course of study.

How does the Christian Scientist approach the day of commencement? He may begin with the recognition of God as divine Mind, Spirit, the source of all substance and action. He may well recall Mary Baker Eddy's definition of "day" in our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 584): "The irradiance of Life; light, the spiritual idea of Truth and Love." In view of these spiritual facts the Christian Scientist maintains with assurance that his every experience is illumined by the light of spiritual understanding. He recognizes that the angels of God's presence, the rich resources of Soul, are ever at hand to accompany, enlighten, and support him on his way.
