TIME WITH GOD

PAULINE B. RADER

A Nationwide business organization requested the managers in its several hundred stores to keep for two weeks a minute-by-minute record of the work they did in the store from the time they entered until they left. Shortly afterwards, conventions were held in various parts of the country to which these managers brought their records. The managers themselves evaluated their various activities to determine how many duties could be delegated to others so that they might spend more time on the really necessary duties of management.

A Christian Scientist who attended one of these conventions decided that it would be to her advantage to determine how much time she spent in thinking of the things of God and how much she spent in woolgathering or in following material or mortal patterns of thought.

In an article entitled "Improve Your Time," Mary Baker Eddy says (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 230): "A great amount of time is consumed in talking nothing, doing nothing, and indecision as to what one should do. If one would be successful in the future, let him make the most of the present."
