ACHIEVING SUCCESS THROUGH RIGHT THINKING

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

ALICE LOUISE MERRILL

The world today is in great need of spiritually minded thinkers and workers. In the Preface of Science and Health its author, Mrs. Eddy, declares (p vii), "The time for thinkers has come." Recognizing that his thinking definitely shapes the course of his human experiences, the student of Christian Science early learns that his individual responsibility is to determine the quality of his thoughts.

It is encouraging to observe that many are awakening to discern the power and ever-presence of God and to see that He is the Supreme Being, in complete control of the universe, including man. Acknowledging their true status of divine sonship, they have the basis for right thinking, and through right thinking they demonstrate the coincidence of the human and the divine.

The rules of Christian Science are based upon the First Commandment (Ex. 20:3), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," upon error's impotence and upon the facts of God's allness and His infinite goodness. Evil has no power of action or of influence in the kingdom of divine Mind, God.
