"There is a right way"

[Of Special Interest to Young People]

ROSEMARY C. COBHAM

When I was serving in the Armed Forces during World War II, we had an instructor who always prefaced a demonstration with this remark: "Now, there is a right way and a wrong way to do everything." He then proceeded to demonstrate the right way to do the work in hand.

When confronted with problems, I have often remembered his words and have sought to do things the right way at once. Christian Science teaches that the right way is the Christlike way; it is the way of spiritually understanding God's control of events and not that of resorting to mere human will or human expediency.

The Psalmist pictures God as saying (Ps. 46:10), "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." So we can be still and acknowledge the reign of God, divine Mind, over heathen thoughts of fear, doubt, self-seeking, and every false god that would claim to rule.
