Demonstrating Unshrinkable Supply

Alan A. Aylwin

In a period of inflation the common tendency is to look ruefully at the shrinking value of one's salary and savings and anxiously wonder where it all will stop. In a very literal sense "riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven."^{ Prov. 23:5;}

As everyone else, the student of Christian Science seems to be caught up in this problem. He therefore needs to give it careful thought in order to discover and apply the solution that his religion offers. At the outset he must remember that Christian Science is not a prosperity cult, an easy road to selfish material ends. It is the pure Christianity that Christ Jesus taught and demonstrated. The Master proved the existence of an unchanging divine law of abundance when he fed the multitude with a few loaves and fishes and produced tax money from a fish's mouth. This law is present and operative today, available to all who are seeking a higher understanding of God, divine Love, and the spiritual riches He imparts.

Earnest students of this Science are not mesmerized by a love of money. But they recognize their God-given right to an abundant supply of whatever is needed for their development and well-being. They understand that the value of Love's gifts never deteriorates. God, divine Mind, is constantly imparting right ideas, the riches of His grace, to His beloved offspring, man. These ideas are made of the indestructible, unshrinkable substance of Spirit. They are limitless; therefore they are ever present at every moment and under all circumstances.
