IN this age of marvelous discovery and development, it is regrettable that mankind, generally, mistakenly believes God's law to be so remote and unrelated to human affairs that it ignores the necessity for conducting its business in closer relation to Christianly scientific lines, in order that it may achieve success.
Nevertheless, through the widespread teachings of Christian Science a remarkable change is taking place in thought with regard to spiritual law applied in business. Many are coming to see that all good business must be God's business; hence, under the government of divine law. When one's business is conformed to God's law, the spiritual fact becomes apparent that His law can include in itself no element of friction, disorder, or rivalry whereby to obstruct right activity. The law of God is ever operative; but any contrary belief would inject into human consciousness the mental poison of fear, which tends to mesmerize and paralyze one's own thought of business.
Opening the book of history at random one finds there an unbroken record showing that every impulse toward the development of good, weaving itself into the web of human progress, has marked the significance of the divine energy asserting itself in human consciousness. And although it may appear that human effort is largely directed to the acquiring of material possessions, it is only to the extent that any project is brought under the government of divine Principle that it can be truly successful.
