Players in such games as baseball and cricket are familiar with the term "inning" or "innings," when a team or an individual member thereof has a fresh opportunity to score. In baseball, a game of normally nine-innings, there is always hope for a trailing side as long as there is one inning left. Often one hears of a victory snatched from threatened defeat in a brisk ninth-inning rally.
Does material sense testimony argue to us that our game of life is lost, that Christian Science treatment is unavailing? Then let us turn the more earnestly and confidently to a new inning, to a fresh opportunity, ever at hand, to break the mesmeric hold of error and prove the presence and reality of harmonious Truth. An oftquoted rhyme reads:
"Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every day is the world made new;
Ye who are weary of sorrow or sinning,
Here is a beautiful thought for you—
A thought for me and a thought for you."
