"I WAS THERE"

VIOLET HAY

The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way .... When he prepared the heavens, I was there. .... Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him" (Prov. 8:22-30 ). These are words of wisdom from the book of Proverbs. But how aptly may one utter them in recognition and acknowledgment of man's pre-existence and coexistence with his creator.

Before we came into Christian Science, many of us probably accepted the belief, general among Christians, that life begins for us here and that we can look forward to spiritual immortality hereafter. Christian Science shows us that anything which has a beginning must have an ending and that which is immortal must be eternally immortal.
