The Master cried, "Come unto me." Doubtless many have come to the true knowledge of God and man, home to the heaven of Soul, where perfection is always manifested. No one since the advent of Christianity has accepted so intelligently this divine invitation by our Master or been so consecrated as Mrs. Eddy, our Leader, who left an elucidation of her discovery for our guidance.
Of intrinsic value is our effort to follow the Christ as Mrs. Eddy did, and, like her, not with our flag at half-mast, but with an ability to see and express good and to renounce all evil. The serving of two masters will never bring us into the realm of good; our thought must be all for God and we must have no other allegiance. Full consecration to the divine ideal was our Leader's example, and so must it be our hope and ambition. We must consecrate ourselves unselfishly to demonstrating the reality of good, heaven and its blessings, and turn away from the emptiness of that which can never be good, or kind, or real.
In order to dedicate ourselves to the divine ideal we must be faithful to good and willing to give up all materiality, all false concepts, which, while retained, keep us from going forward into good. Abraham, about to make the supreme sacrifice of his own dearly beloved son, was prevented by a higher, truer sense of dedication and gratitude. If we are willing to sacrifice all wrong thinking as we endeavor more fully to reflect spirituality, we are becoming consecrated and wholly dedicated to spiritual gain.
