Joyous Remembrance

Alan A. Aylwin

Who among us does not cherish the remembrance of great events, heroic deeds, happy hours spent with loved ones? The human faculty of memory is indeed a blessing when it brings to thought happenings of lasting significance that inspire us to do a better job, to be more unselfish, honest, and pure in the living present. When, for example, we remember the multitudes who have sacrificed all for their country and the cause of freedom, we are at once impelled to be of greater service ourselves so that the sacrifice they made shall not be in vain.

Christians everywhere remember the words and works of Christ Jesus with love and reverence. The events connected with his human experience occurred nearly two thousand years ago, but the remembrance of them, as recounted in the Bible, shapes the quality of countless lives today.

Just as heroes and patriots inspire a nation to higher endeavor, so the practicing Christian Scientist is encouraged to go forward as he contemplates the spiritual power evidenced in Jesus' healing ministry. The advent of Christian Science has brought the Master's career into sharp focus, into practical remembrance, by demonstrating to a remarkable degree the healing Christ that Jesus came to reveal. He himself prophesied that when mankind attained the necessary spiritual readiness the Comforter would appear that would unfold the healing power of Truth in its exact Science. He said, "The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."^{ John 14:26;}
