Modern methods of travel and work seem to make it imperative that mankind have a reliable safeguard against the increasing but false belief in accident. Where can one turn with confidence, except to the divine Mind? Christian Science offers a positive method of safety in travel and work—in all right activity.
Mankind, existing at the standpoint of chance, where anything— good or bad—is liable to happen without reason or cause, is in constant fear lest something disastrous befall it, and is sometimes equally afraid lest something greatly desired may not come to pass. This, however, is not the case when we learn in Christian Science that good effects are produced by a spiritual apprehension of God as omnipotent Truth, while fear and sin are responsible for the world's misery. Our thoughts form our experiences, and the place to forestall evil and to promote good is in the mental realm.
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." Here is a definite promise and unfailing law of protection in every pursuit of human endeavor. Preservation is the outcome of spiritual understanding and of the realization of divine Love's allness and omnipotence. To understand that God, Soul, governs all that is real, and that one's real being is under this divine control, brings order and security every step of the way. This acknowledgment also demands a denial of the belief that existence can be subject to the machinations of evil.
