"The atheism of anxiety!" How a phrase like this...

From the June 1903 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"The atheism of anxiety!" How a phrase like this fastens itself upon the memory, and despite all new and absorbing topics holds its own until we listen to its reiterant suggestion and accept its insistent message.

We have always been aware, in some degree, of the tyranny of anxiety. We have felt the discomfort it precipitates, not only upon him who is its occasion, but upon him who entertains it; but it is only when the light of the Christian Science breaks upon us, that we appreciate the possible "atheism" of anxiety.

Then it defines itself as a lack of faith in the one omnipotent God,—doubt of either power or disposition to hold all in the hollow of His hand.
