One of the great comforts brought by the understanding of Christian Science is the elimination of fear. It means much to change the sense that chance and accident may bring unavoidable evil into one's life, into a sense of the protecting care of God: but even this is not enough. The thought may still remain that, since God protects us, there is something to be protected from. The only elimination of this last argument of error is in the realization that the allness of God assures us of divine protection. There is no independent activity of evil waiting to strike at us. A false belief in evil, which can be eliminated from consciousness, is both the cause and the effect of any seeming evil experience. Our outer experience is the fruit of our inner mental life, and since God, the divine Mind, is the only source of being, there is no flaw in all the infinitude of divine Principle to cast a shadow in the path of the child of God.—
