"THAT NEEDFUL ONE THING"

LUCETTE S. RAGSDALE

In spite of Christ Jesus' counsel (Matt. 6: 33), "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you," individuals have labored blindly and fruitlessly to attain health, peace, and happiness in materiality.

Mary Baker Eddy writes in her book "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany" (pp. 126, 127): "One thing is eternally here; it reigns supreme to-day, tomorrow, forever. We need it in our homes, at our firesides, on our altars, for with it win we the race of the centuries. We have it only as we live it. This is that needful one thing—divine Science, whereby thought is spiritualized, reaching outward and upward to Science in Christianity, Science in medicine, in physics, and in metaphysics."

This divine Science has been demonstrated by the spiritually minded who have caught glimpses of the true nature of God and His unchanging, eternal laws. All through the Old Testament we have proof of the power of God to heal, to protect, and to supply human needs.
