BOLDNESS IN TRUTH VERSUS TIMIDITY
A Christian Science student was once asked the question, "Do you think timidity is animal magnetism?" He replied, "Yes, for timidity is fear, the mesmerism and hypnotism of the carnal mind, making one think that he is insufficient, incapable, finite, and inferior. This has a tendency to center one's thought on self and the deficiencies of that self." Let us not yield to these suggestions of fear and self-depreciation. Let us boldly claim our divine right to intelligence—not just a meager amount of it, but infinite intelligence by reflection because man expresses God, infinite Mind. Let us claim the energy and endurance, the wisdom and might, which are rightfully ours when we know that we are ever at one with God.
Mary Baker Eddy tells us in the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 18), "Jesus acted boldly, against the accredited evidence of the senses, against Pharisaical creeds and practices, and he refuted all opponents with his healing power." What gave Jesus his great healing power? It was the recognition of his inseparability from the Christ, the spiritual idea of sonship.
