ENTERTAINING THE TRUTH

Robert Ellis Key

A Christian Scientist soon discovers that he must discriminate regarding the type of entertainment he patronizes. The best entertainment of all is the entertainment of Truth, for this entertainment is health-giving and satisfying. An analysis of one's thoughts during a normal day may disclose the sad fact that one is spending a great deal of time in unprofitable entertainment. For instance, one may be entertaining doubt concerning the outcome of a problem. The belief that the problem ever formed a part of one's experience must have started by one's entertaining in thought something unlike God, or good. And one can at once turn out such unwelcome thoughts of fear, doubt, lack, sorrow, or resentment.

If we gave an entertainment for our friends we would see to it that uncongenial visitors were not admitted to our home. We are master in our own household. We would not entertain those whose only purpose is to do us harm or cause confusion.
