MORE THAN ENOUGH

THOMAS B. MILLAR

Most Christians will accept the proposition that God is infinitely good. And yet many will also accept the suggestion that they are not receiving as much good as they need. The world of human thinking is shouting continually its cry of lack: lack of peace, supply, honesty, health, happiness, holiness, purity, as well as lack of eternal life.

The answer of Christian Science to this insistent, mesmeric argument is simple and effective. Since God is infinite and is good, there is no place where God, good, is not. Hence there is no lack, even as there is no darkness in a building in which there is a light that shines into every corner. God is omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite. The infinite and the finite cannot dwell together.

Someone may say: "That is a fine theory, but it does not work out in practice. Surely it is obvious that there are deficiencies in our human living. Some people don't have enough to live on; you can't get away from it."
