OUR IMPERVIOUS ARMOR

EMMA E. AKIN

"Clad in invincible armor, grasping the sword of Spirit, you have started in this sublime ascent, and should reach the mount of revelation; for if ye would run, who shall hinder you?" So writes Mary Baker Eddy on page 189 of "The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany."

Humanity has the precious opportunity to work out its own salvation. Each individual must meet the responsibility of his own thoughts and acts. How important, then, to guard the door of individual consciousness against every thought which is not of God!

Isaiah wrote (26:1-3): "We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee."
