In that lovely fable of the Halcyon, we read: "In the wild winter months" is given "the wisdom of calm" to those days when the Halcyon builds her nest on the sea, and that time is known as "the hour of winds'-hiding,"—the Halcyon days.
And such are the days which Christian Science brings to our consciousness, wherein the discords of mortal sense yield to the law of harmony, and spiritual sense is acknowledged true. This calm reveals and is established by spiritual understanding, and the building is in accordance with the law of wisdom.
There must be this calm for all true and wise labor. Not apathy, not inaction, but the calm assurance of successful endeavor, because subtlety ceases to beguile, and delusion to deceive; hence, there is no doubt, hesitation, or fear, and all action becomes swift and direct.
