Scrubbing shadows

PERSIS E. ZUBER

Coming into a newly wallpapered room, I was dismayed to find a large grease spot in a prominent place. I set about sponging it off. But it wouldn't budge. Annoyed, I picked up a towel that was lying nearby and turned to leave—when I realized the spot had disappeared. It was just a shadow of the towel on the wall!

Mankind seems forever occupied with trying to remove the shadows of illness, fear, sin, thinking they are concrete realities. It delves for cause and seeks cure in matter, often spending vast amounts of time and money on material solutions.

Yet the most effective "spot remover" is free to all. Under its treatment, the difficulty is shown up as only a shadow and disappears, having no reality. This wonderful panacea is the Science Christ Jesus taught and practiced. In 1866 it was discovered by Mary Baker Eddy, who called it Christian Science.
