A LARGER SENSE OF GOD

CLAIRE CHANCELLOR

In their search for God many echo Job's plea (23:3), "Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!" Strange and varied concepts of Deity have been formed which have failed to satisfy the inner longing for God. One's concept of creation, the universe and man, depends on one's concept of God. The broader and more correct the concept of God, the less narrow and stereotyped is one's human sense of life and the universe.

The primal necessity, then, in a search for God is the enlargement of one's concept of Deity. One must find an ever-increasing understanding of infinity and know God as divine and unlimited Life, as inescapable Truth, as tender and all-encompassing Love.

Yearning to know the truth of God and of His image and likeness, man, our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, turned to the Bible. For three years she devoted every available moment to this search. Her thought became so spiritually enlightened during this period of study that through divine revelation and demonstration she was able to give to the world the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," and to become not only the Discoverer but also the Founder of Christian Science.
