The more we come into the understanding of Truth and become conscious of our real being, the more apparent it is to us that material things do not satisfy, do not save, and that matter cannot be depended upon; for in the end it fails us, and we are driven to seek higher support, things spiritual, which alone give us satisfaction and happiness.

It is all very well for us to call attention to the fact that, as James puts it, "Ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. . . . your garments are motheaten." yet we, as Christian Scientists, need to examine ourselves that, when our garments (our senses of protection) are held up to the searching light of Truth, they prove not to be full of holes, and unfit for use.
