AS one understands and puts into practice his God-given power to think righteously, and consequently to live rightly, he enters into his heritage of dominion as the son of God. Manifesting in his life Godlike thoughts, one can control and annihilate so-called evil, thus demonstrating the supremacy of God, good.
On page 234 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy, states a basic fact. She writes: "Sin and disease must be thought before they can be manifested. You must control evil thoughts in the first instance, or they will control you in the second."
As shown by this statement, the character of thought is a governing force in the life of each one. determining his status for good or evil, health or disease, happiness or misery. All mystery regarding cause and effect has been solved by the demonstrable truths of Christian Science, revealing man as God's reflection, man who manifests God's ideas. That our thoughts decide the issues of life is undeniably true; and in view of this fact we should be very careful as to the quality of our thinking. Since like produces like, good and pure thoughts result in harmony, health, and happiness; while evil beliefs produce discord, sorrow, and disease.
