RADIO PROGRAM No. 169 - Overcoming Pride—A Foe in Ambush

Karl Shore

Speaker: A false sense of pride is one of mankind's most subtle enemies. How often it is that egotism would make us do the wrong thing or would blind us to opportunities that are right at hand! But there is a way you and I can learn to overcome this treacherous habit of thought and find the harmony, freedom, and release this brings to all our human affairs. Our guest today found this true, and he's going to tell us about it now. Let me introduce Karl Shore of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Would you go ahead, Mr. Shore?

Mr. Shore: Well, I'd left a salesman's job with one of the country's largest food concerns to take the position of sales manager with a smaller company. But the firm failed, and I found myself out of a job; and this was at a time when very few men were being hired.

However, I'd learned something of the scientific reliance on God, which Christian Science had taught me, and my wife and I turned to God for help at this time. Along with the usual job hunting, I made frequent use of the Christian Science Reading Rooms for study and prayer, because I felt this was my real need. I prayed for the understanding that God's man is governed and directed by God, and his real business is to reflect God's qualities, because the Bible tells us that man is God's image and likeness. I knew that God's likeness, or reflection, must always be in his right place and that his needs are met by God, divine Love. I often recalled Mary Baker Eddy's statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 494), "Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need."
