"REJOICE EVERMORE"

RUBY W. EAST

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (I Thess. 5:16-18). The injunction contained in this message, sent by the Apostle Paul to encourage the early Christians at Thessalonica, might well be considered by Christians of today.

To rejoice is to be grateful for and to affirm good. To the Christian Scientist it means to dwell on the scientific truths of being in contradistinction to the dissipation of thought which merely mourns the lie of evil. No amount of time spent in mourning an illusion, or lie, will ever establish the truth regarding a condition or circumstance.
