THE HIGH GOAL

Under the marginal heading "Our footsteps heavenward" Mary Baker Eddy writes (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 426): "The discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less difficult when she has the high goal always before her thoughts, than when she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to reach it. When the destination is desirable, expectation speeds our progress." Students of Christian Science will find their path less difficult and their progress more consistent when they keep the high goal before their thought and press toward it.

The newcomer to Christian Science may have as his goal the healing of some bodily ailment or the overcoming of some discordant condition. A more advanced student may consider that the maintenance of health and harmony or the demonstration of peace and abundance is his goal. Many have not clearly realized that in studying Christian Science they have entered a path leading upward to a final destination.
