"I fill a place, I know't"

REGINALD HAYES

The title's words are Shakespeare's, fitting the character of the wise and beloved old king in All's Well that Ends Well. All's Well that Ends Well, Act I, scene 2 . But I've often thought of them in a deeper sense, as stating a timeless fact that can be proved in Christian Science.

Scientifically speaking, we do each hold a place in God's spiritual kingdom, and we can know it. Our Father, our intelligent source, is God. We should increase our trust and confidence in His never-ending ability to provide justly for each of His children. His guidance enables us to use our God-given abilities in ways that best serve Him.

We may derive little comfort from our identity as immortal ideas of God if we believe the corporeal senses' denial of our heritage. Yet Christ Jesus proved that the spiritual standpoint is true and the material is false. "Like our Master," Mrs. Eddy says, "we must depart from material sense into the spiritual sense of being." Science and Health, p. 41. When we find our way spiritually, we find it humanly.
