REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

DENICE REHBURG KOCH

When brought to trial, Socrates, the Grecian sage and philosopher, began his defense as follows: "How you, O Athenians, have been affected by my accusers, I cannot tell; but I know that they almost made me forget who I was —so persuasively did they speak; and yet they have hardly uttered a word of truth."

How many false accusations face us today! They are thrust upon us by the press, the radio, television, and society in general. They tell us that man is mortal and material, liable to accident, disease, death; that every stage of his experience, from what is termed infancy to old age, is beset by dangers.

Physical sense testimony argues: "Of course you are a mortal and live in a mortal body; in fact, you are dependent on this body for life and intelligence. Can't you see the material body and feel it?" So persuasive are these arguments that they almost make us forget who we truly are. But they cannot succeed if we will but turn to the Bible and to the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy.
