How often, when desiring to satisfy some long-felt need, and knowing that it is right that it be satisfied, I have found that not until self-will is hushed and humility and honest sincerity for God's cause are uppermost in my heart, do I receive that which is essential.
All
who know anything of Christian Science know that it teaches at all times that Love is the governing Power, the only Power, the only Government, the only Principle of man and the universe; and though it is omnipotent and omnipresent,—so great that the human mind cannot comprehend it, yet it is so simple also that even the little child can recognize and does recognize its healing presence.
As we pass from a state of mortal mind to a state of spiritual understanding, as revealed in Christian Science, we come to a point where we would fain grasp the new, yet seem unwilling or unable to give up entirely the old, and few of us pass this point at a bound.
One
of the greatest needs of all who are striving to be Christian Scientist, is a constant, far-reaching protection from the suggestions of mortal mind.
