GODWARD GRAVITATION

LOUISE EVANS HANSCHKE

A Student of Christian Science was accustomed to climb an extremely steep hill in order to reach a bus stop. As she climbed, she endeavored to lift her thought above the sense of toilsome exertion to the realization that man, as a spiritual idea of God, is never plodding heavily along anywhere at any time. This lifting of her thinking usually resulted in her reaching the top almost before she knew it, with less and less feeling of effort.

One day, however, as she pondered various statements of truth regarding ascent, ascension, heights, and the like, she became aware of the spiritual fact that as she ascended to a loftier level of thought, it was divinely natural that she should be expressing greater freedom, more buoyancy and dominion as evidence of her progress out of a material sense of things.
