Parents, Teen-agers, and Self-government

Carl J. Welz

The problems of teen-agers and their parents are human. They arise from the belief in material life, including material birth, maturity, and eventual death. Christian Science teaches us to solve human problems by applying to the mental picture in human consciousness the truths of God and man. In this way we overcome the material, for matter is unreal. As a result the true spiritual nature of each individual as God's reflection appears.

God is infinite Mind, Principle, Love. His sons and daughters are spiritual ideas. They reflect divine intelligence, spiritual order, immortal love in all that they do. Their activities have a spiritual purpose. Their individualities are pure expressions of holy perfection.
