UTILIZATION

From the March 1927 issue of The Christian Science Journal


SON, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine." Man is the son of God, dwelling forever in God, the eternal Mind. Made in the divine likeness, man perpetually manifests all that God is, all that God has, all that God knows Whatever is true of God, is in a degree true of man, His image and likeness; and whatever is not true of God, cannot be true of man, because he has no existence or intelligence separate from Deity.

From beginning to end, from Genesis to Revelation, the Scriptures abound in evidences of the loving Father's providence for His children. God, in His infinite wisdom and power, knows and foreknows, has already provided, provides now, and will continue to provide all that is requisite for the complete expression of His perfect creation. Man, the divine image, forever reflects this wisdom and power; and God has given him infinite ability to utilize all the provision which He has made. Man is as unlimited in his capacity to receive and to utilize the divine provision as God is unlimited in His capacity to bestow that which He has made.

Humanity defines economics materially, in terms of demand and supply; it believes there can exist a demand which cannot be supplied, and a supply which cannot be utilized. Basing its experience on materiality, and judging only from the evidence of the physical senses, the so-called human mind believes there may exist an oversupply or an entire lack of things deemed essential to maintain human existence. In the one instance, it argues that unless there is a demand sufficient to offset the thing supplied, that supply is valueless. In the other, it even goes so far as to say that there may be a demand too great to be supplied, the result of which is poverty, starvation, death.
