"FRESH OPPORTUNITIES EVERY HOUR"

ROSE ROSNER COOK

There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.

These words pertaining to the fleeting nature of opportunity were put into the mouth of Brutus in Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar." Unfortunately this sentiment is sometimes echoed today in the thoughts of those who are unfamiliar with God, the origin of all good. To them Mary Baker Eddy brings the assurance that it is never too late for a fresh start. In her book "Christian Healing" she writes (p. 19), "Tireless Being, patient of man's procrastination, affords him fresh opportunities every hour; but if Science makes a more spiritual demand, bidding man go up higher, he is impatient perhaps, or doubts the feasibility of the demand."
