SHARING THE LIVING WATERS

DOROTHY A. EREAUT

Within the walls of an ancient fortress castle is a very deep well that has its source far down beneath the rock on which the fortress stands. This well has never gone dry. In troubled times of bygone days, the inhabitants of the castle used to shut the massive gates and remain safe within the fortress. One of the reasons that they were able to withstand so many sieges was this: they had this deep well of pure water to sustain them.

We read in Isaiah (12:2, 3): "Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the Lord JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, the following definition of "salvation" is given (p. 593): "Life, Truth, and Love understood and demonstrated as supreme over all; sin, sickness, and death destroyed."

In order progressively to utilize the spiritual understanding of the supremacy of Life, Truth, and Love that is demonstrated in the healing of sickness and sin, we need to draw regularly from the deep, pure well of spiritual understanding. This is the water of Life, the inspiration by which we live.
