The benefit which Christian Science is to a busy shop-worker, has been so beautifully demonstrated in many in stances, and in one case in particular, that it is worthy of the consideration of every thinking man. It should be taken up honestly, and put to the test in actual practice by the inquirer.
A factory where mortal mind was allowed to hold sway, and the seeming power of malice, envy, jealousy, selfishness, was seeking for the mastery, has become a peaceful, harmonious, and profitable place to work. The error that it did not pay, and could not be made a profitable venture, has been destroyed. There is plenty of work for the number of men that can be accommodated; besides, they are satisfied with their positions and employers. They realize they are not simply working for wages, but for their employers' interests. The work is gotten out quickly, accurately, and satisfactorily to the trade, and the standard of perfection in quality is sought after and being attained.
This success is attributed largely to the Christianly Scientific thought, held for the business in question, by the person in charge. With the whole Christian armor on, and watchfulness for every appearance of evil, the foe is dealt a death-blow, before he has a chance to gain a foothold.
Think you it is an easy task? "We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world;" but in Christ, Truth, "we are more than conquerors," and yet it is eternal vigilance that is the price of liberty. We must "stand porter at the door of thought," as Mrs. Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," p. 391. Paul says, "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
Thank God, it is possible for us, through the understanding gained in Christian Science, to know how to meet everything that stands in the way of true success and the perfection of our calling.
People are coming to obtain the freedom and power God's Truth bestows on every sincere seeker for the Light. They are coming to see its beauty, utility, and grandeur, more clearly day by day. The leaven of Truth is working and will eventually leaven the whole of humanity.
