Minding Our Business

CORA SLAUGHTER

"Much of what we hear is clearly our business." These words by an earnest worker in the Christian Science movement came helpfully to the writer's thought while she was employed in a busy bookstore.

At the Christmas holiday season working schedules were increased as demands grew heavier. The manager expressed the fear that she would come down with influenza and that it would be followed by pneumonia. Other employees predicted that a new addition to the store would not be completed on time. And it was the consensus among neighboring merchants that a newly opened shopping center in the area would take away much of their revenue.

Absorbed in highly responsible duties involving large sums of money, the writer did not take time either to agree or to disagree with these suggestions until she remembered the remark, "Much of what we hear is clearly our business." She saw that she needed to handle the errors being voiced and to realize that because God is One and All, evil is nothing and nowhere. Infinite Mind and its manifestation is all that is present or can be present.
