GOD, OUR TRUE AND ONLY MODEL

RUTH A. ECK

Recently , while the writer was working on a large and difficult picture puzzle, she realized that the hundreds of scrambled pieces had absolutely no resemblance to the model on the box cover, nor did they even hint the beauty of the completed picture. To keep the model in thought and fit each piece together, intelligence, alertness, and patience had to be exercised.

How much like the puzzle our daily experience sometimes seems to be. Nothing appears to fit together. But if we keep the true model before us, we shall be able to bring out order and harmony.

Mary Baker Eddy tells us in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 264): "Mortals must look beyond fading, finite forms, if they would gain the true sense of things. Where shall the gaze rest but in the unsearchable realm of Mind?" And she adds in the next paragraph, "As mortals gain more correct views of God and man, multitudinous objects of creation, which before were invisible, will become visible."
