IT was the privilege of the writer at one time to attend a concert of religious music given by a well-known choir. It was observed that no keynote was given them on the stage, and as they were singing unaccompanied she wondered what their method might be. Later it was learned that the keynote was given them before going on the stage, and was retained until the rendition of the selection. This was accomplished through individual training.
How beautifully this might be applied in the daily work of the Christian Scientist! Is not divine Love the keynote of demonstrable Christian Science? Could one imagine what the result would have been at that concert if the keynote had not been retained? Certainly the result would not have been very harmonious. And so it is that, when we forget Love, God, and forget to love, inharmonious results follow.
If, before taking up the activities of the day, each individual would pause a few moments to listen for this keynote, divine Love, and retain it during the day, what harmony would be felt by those with whom he came into contact! The earnest student of Christian Science is striving to demonstrate the sustaining harmonies of infinite Mind; and to the degree that the Golden Rule is practiced in his daily living, and mercy, justice, goodness, the attributes of God, are manifested, the more harmonious will be the song reaching to bless mankind.
