THE SCIENTIFIC SENSE OF SUPPLY

From the April 1934 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The Bible teaches us that God made all that was made, that He "saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." This statement of fact is unalterable. We are also taught that throughout all eternity "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth," and that "he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven." In God's universe all His ideas work forever in perfect harmony, each filling its proper place in His perfect plan; and not by any possibility can one ever fail to carry out His purpose.

This perfect law and order is glimpsed in the movement of the tides and of the planets. Astronomy can foretell the return of a comet in its majestic course through space. The turn of the tide can be determined for any given place and day. Mankind has also learned somewhat concerning the laws governing numbers and music, and is using them.

The human concept of law, however, is limited. The mist that went up "from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground," while in no way affecting God's creation or His government thereof, has obscured the true creation, so that, viewed through this material mystification, it seems to manifest discord. It is, however, only the human perception that needs adjusting.
