THE BASIS OF GOOD BUSINESS
In adhering to divine Principle, God, the businessman has an exact standard by which to gauge his conduct. He finds that this Principle governs his human affairs to the extent that he places himself under its jurisdiction.
If the businessman is to exemplify good business, his every thought and act must be in line with the divine demand for perfection. Integrity and sincerity are required. To temporize with Principle and, at the same time, to seek to succeed is idle. Mankind cannot steer a straightforward course under expediency, human will, or mere human outlining.
The alert Christian Scientist does not look to mortal mind to tell him whether business conditions are good or bad. Although recognizing the activity of business cycles in human experience, he gives no credence to them. But he takes to heart the admonition in Proverbs (3:5, 6): "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
