Patience in Action

CAROLYN CANHAM PAUL

"Patience is never a passive quality ... but a living,

As Christian Scientists we know that man, the spiritual idea and perfect reflection of God, is the complete and constant expression of all good. But we must prove these truths in our lives, for proof is an integral part of the total comprehension of Christian Science, as it is of any science. And we need an understanding of patience in our efforts to make this proof.
