In the Presence of Mind

GRACE E. ROWNTREE

Because we are always in the presence of God, we are always in the presence of Mind. Accepting this spiritual fact and endeavoring to express only good in our daily affairs, we find ourselves acting with wisdom, especially in cases of emergency when fear and confusion seem to hold sway. On such occasions the consciousness of Mind's presence gives alertness and ability to act promptly and efficiently. It calms and controls the tendency to panic and wipes out fear of fatal results with the assurance of ever-present, all-powerful, indestructible Life and Love.

Christian Science is a practical religion to be used in every detail of our lives. The understanding and utilization of this Science of Mind equip the businessman with intuition and keen perception of character, enabling him to meet with calm confidence the vicissitudes that may seem to impede progress and delay the success of his work. The busy housewife and mother finds her chores accomplished with greater ease and joy when looking to Mind for guidance. A realization of Mind's government is as essential to the successful running of a home as to the launching of a rocket!

The understanding of and the reliance on the presence of the one Mind are invaluable to the child at school and to the university student. Examinations cannot instill fear into one who having studied to the best of his ability relies on the presence of Mind to supply the wisdom which produces the questions as well as the intelligence to give the correct answers. He never panics and is not tempted to rely on last minute cramming, because he is confidently aware of the presence and guidance of the one all-knowing Mind. He listens for God's voice and proves the truth of the words of Isaish, "Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left."^{Isa. 30:21;}
