"A MORE EXCELLENT WAY"

KATHRYN PAULSON

There is an infinitely higher way and one more effectual in the adjustment of human difficulties than personally devised corrective or disciplinary measures. It is the way which God, divine Love, provides, the way of the Christ.

There is no latent, evasive element of error that can resist the action of the Christ, the power of God, which is at work deep in human consciousness, disclosing, dislodging, and dissolving that which is erroneous and restoring the balanced action of normalcy to every situation. There is no resistant or elemental force that can defeat divine Love, for Love is supreme; its power cannot be overruled.

The Apostle Paul had a high and holy sense of responsibility toward the scattered Christian churches he shepherded. His was the unfailingly effective way of love, the means and end of Christianity. He knew that without the reduction of love to practice in everyday living, the church would not flourish. Although many of his letters are concerned with affairs of discipline, his endeavor was ever to turn the thought of the people to love as the effectual remedial agent, the way most in keeping with Christ Jesus' teachings and practice.
