Our ark of salvation

EDGAR F. WRIGHT

As a child I enjoyed my miniature Noah's ark and its many wooden animals. I listened to the Bible story of Noah's goodness and obedience and his deliverance from the flood.

But as I grew older, I began to be troubled by the logistics of the rather detailed Bible narrative—by the problem of two huge elephants and two giraffes with their long necks fitting into the ark, and particularly the bales of hay that would be necessary for the long voyage.

But Christian Science changed all that. I learned that the story of Noah's material experience had deep spiritual significance. I turned my thought from the logistics of elephants and hay to the unfoldment of divine Mind's unlimited spiritual ideas. The perception of the material senses was replaced in some measure by the realization of Mind as the creator of the universe.
