"THE SECRET PLACE"

DONALD PEARCE

During the Second World War a student of Christian Science living in a country frequently subjected to prolonged attack from the air derived great comfort from the ninety-first Psalm, particularly the opening verse, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Often, as enemy aircraft droned overhead and the whistle of falling bombs could be heard, those words gave him a sense of protection and peace, completely removing fear for himself or for those around him. Although bombs dropped nearby, neither he nor his neighbors suffered injury throughout the war years, nor were their homes seriously damaged.

Today the world is desperately seeking the way to safety. Is there a refuge from danger, and, if so, how shall men find it? The Bible answers these questions and contains many striking passages which stand out like signposts, pointing the way to safety. But more than mere human vision is required in order to discern their meaning.

Christ Jesus, the Way-shower, said (Matt. 13:15), "This people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them."
