We
sometimes hear it said, or even think it ourselves, "I read the Lesson every day, I go to church at least once on Sunday, I attend the meeting every Wednesday evening, and all the lectures which are provided for us; I subscribe for and read all the literature and periodicals which are issued by our Publishing Society, I give liberally to the church; in fact, I do all the things which are required of Christian Scientists, and yet I seem to be poor in this world's goods and possessions; while others around me who are doing much less than I am, are healthy, happy, and living in affluence.
