"Moving in the harmony of Science"

MARY ISABELLE JOHNSTON

How important it is for us to realize our unbroken, eternal relationship with God! Harmony is the true status of every child of God. It does not depend upon happenstance. It knows no partiality. Because it is a quality of God, it is native to His reflection, man.

A harmonious relationship with one's fellowmen is also essential to one's well-being. Mankind need to find the key to concordant relationships with business associates, neighbors, church co-workers, and members of their own households. To human sense, friction or conflicting views are prevalent among individuals and nations. One may question how it is possible for individuals with different characteristics and environments to harmonize with each other.

The Bible unequivocally reveals the key to man's harmonious state of being in these words of Paul: "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."^{Acts 17:28;}We learn in Christian Science that to understand that "we live, and move, and have our being" in God, who is Love, establishes in our consciousness the truth of man's unity with his source and of his perfect relationship with all of God's children.
