CONCERNING FOCUS

GLADYS C. GIRARD

In attempting to take a picture with a thirty-five millimeter camera, a student of Christian Science saw two images in the range finder, although he knew that actually only one person stood before him. A screw was turned on the side of the camera and the two images merged into one; then the picture to be taken was in focus.

The student's thought immediately turned to Mary Baker Eddy's statement in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 504), "The rays of infinite Truth, when gathered into the focus of ideas, bring light instantaneously, whereas a thousand years of human doctrines, hypotheses, and vague conjectures emit no such effulgence."

The idea of focus, considered in the light which Christian Science brings to it, has grown in importance to this student, especially when it is thought of in relation to God's unity with man and the universe.
