Would you be on the side of God's law at all times—the law that upholds your divine right to manifest health, intelligence, useful activity, and joyous accomplishment? It is the precious privilege of men and nations to know and to obey spiritual law that the power of infinite good may be enlisted in their behalf. Christian Science is a heaven-sent revelation of the availability and inviolate authority of divine law, to which all men may turn for protection of their rights and their God-given heritage of freedom. Indeed, Mary Baker Eddy defines this Science in "Rudimental Divine Science" (p. 1) thus: "As the law of God, the law of good, interpreting and demonstrating the divine Principle and rule of universal harmony."
The opportunity to escape the thralldom of materiality is universal, but the obligation involved rests upon the individual. Each one is responsible for his own thinking. The bewildered and downcast are given comforting assurance in Mrs. Eddy's statement on page 263 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" which reads, "When mortal man blends his thoughts of existence with the spiritual and works only as God works, he will no longer grope in the dark and cling to earth because he has not tasted heaven." These words of gracious import hold for all a bright promise of deliverance from earthborn cares and burdens. They open new vistas to the needy in every walk of life and to the fearful and distraught in every land.
Nothing can prevent us from making an honest effort to blend our thoughts of existence with the spiritual, for we are divinely supported in this ennobling endeavor. Our Leader's writings, illuming the treasured teachings of the Bible, provide instruction and guidance on this point. Wherever we may be or however unhappy our lot, we can at once turn our thought away from self to God. We can dwell upon the ever-presence of divine Love rather than upon the seeming enormity of our difficulties. We can realize the oneness and allness of God, good, and claim man's birthright of safety and peace in His omnipresence.
