No loss from time loss

ALICE TAYLOR REED

Many look ahead to the new year with resolutions and expectations. Others mark the occasion with retrospection. Some face the future with anxiety; some think on the past with regret.

Christian Science gives us a view of time entirely different from the commonly accepted one. Part of Mrs. Eddy's definition of "time" is "mortal measurements." Science and Health, p. 595; A measurement is not a force, a power, an entity that causes things to happen. Time cannot consume good and it cannot postpone good.

God is good. Because God is ever present, good is always present. Because God is eternal, good is eternal. We need to recognize the good of this moment, which is wholly spiritual and unlimited, untouched by time.
