Victory over slander

ALEXANDER H. SWAN

When lies or insinuations are directed toward us, we can rely upon something more substantial than just the human truth of the matter. We can turn to the invincible nature of Truth, God.

Man, God's spiritual reflection, is always under the control of his creator, divine Truth. Erroneous thoughts or slanderous statements can be proved powerless as we recognize that God's law completely and continually governs man. Error is never real; it never has validity; it can never, in reality, be taken into thought, because there is only one Mind and that Mind is Truth.

The Bible relates many instances in which Christ Jesus was maligned, misunderstood, misjudged. Despite his kindness and unceasing love for others, despite his many acts of healing, his detractors attempted to stop his work and destroy him. Mrs. Eddy, in establishing Christian Science, also suffered attacks, and in some instances even betrayal by those she thought were her supporters.
