THE IMPORTANCE OF GOOD VISIBILITY

HAROLD C. LEWIS

Good visibility is very important to one who is driving an automobile. Recently the writer bought a new car, and the first thing he noticed upon driving it was the improved view that he had in all directions. This gave him more pleasure and a greater feeling of confidence than he had had when driving the older car. In the older car, parts of the body obstructed his vision in several directions. These blocked areas are called "blind spots."

Considered from the metaphysical standpoint, good visibility is also important in daily living and in our progress as Christian Scientists. We should frequently ask ourselves, "Do I daily maintain spiritual visibility so that my view of existence is clear and unobstructed, or do I sometimes allow some subtle phase of error to constitute a blind spot in my thinking?"

Sometimes a student of Christian Science, though faithful in his study and protective work, is suddenly faced with some serious physical problem, and he may ask himself: "Why did this come upon me? I did not fear it or give it power. In fact, I did not even think of such a thing!"
