PROTECTION

CORA B. F. MORRIS

In the midst of the uncertainty in the world today, much human thought is given to questions of adequate protection. We hear of the need of protection against inflation, against old age, against disease, against atomic attack; and there are those who are tempted to believe in the necessity for and the adequacy of material remedies for sickness. We need to awaken to see where danger really lies—in spiritual ignorance.

Through investigating and studying Christian Science, we can learn that God's protection is available and adequate at all times and under all circumstances. In times of stress, in the human problems of disease, lack, inharmony, discordant relationships, sorrow, and the belief of loneliness, the sure remedy is ever at hand to bring peace, protection, and freedom.

Christ Jesus consistently refused to accept false testimony, and he used no material remedies. He realized that man is not mortal, but is perfect and eternal. The Master's understanding of the infinitude of God enabled him to overcome the destructive elements of the mortal nature, which the human mind itself is incapable of overcoming. He understood the nothingness of self-will, envy, fear, and hatred.
