"The fashion of this world passeth away." So wrote Paul in his first letter to the Corinthians. And how many today have a sense of the instability of material things, whether of individual possessions or in relation to world conditions! There is perhaps an almost reluctant acknowledgment that security, happiness, and substance are not to be found through dependence upon what are daily seen to be subject to change, destruction, confiscation. Long ago Paul learned, through revelation and experience, wherein he might find stability, and whereon he might build a safe and sure foundation. In the beautiful thirteenth chapter of the same epistle he wrote, "Charity never faileth"; for he had learned the great truth that Love is God.
Centuries later the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, in her poem "Love," declared (Poems, p. 7),
"Fed by Thy love divine we live,
For Love alone is Life."
