HOW CAN I HELP?

WILL B. DAVIS

A comprehensive and enlightened understanding of God always has been and is now the greatest need of mankind. Ignorance of the fact that God's giving is adequate, that His power is the only power, fosters fear and encourages the lust for human power among individuals and nations. Without the fear that there may not be enough to go around, envy and selfishness would have no basis; there would be no reason for covetousness.

Looking to matter as the source of supply is idolatry. This false concept of reality denies the fact that God alone creates, that God alone governs the universe, including man. This denial does not change the scientific fact that God is the only cause or Mind, that God is Spirit, and that His creation is wholly spiritual.

No matter how many millions believe a lie concerning God and His perfect, spiritual creation, the truth understood by even one individual begins to correct that lie for all mankind. When it is realized how much humanity needs to awaken from the mistake of looking to material sources or to the material possessions of others for supply, the question will naturally occur to every thinking person, "How can I help?" Can any one individual help in solving a worldwide problem?
