Every room has a door. In other words, there is always a way out of any situation. No one need feel he is a victim of adverse circumstances. Christian Science provides a key to the door which leads out of error into the largess of Spirit. Thus one who believes himself to be in a tight corner, companioned by physical or mental suffering, need no longer beat against the prison walls in a vain effort to escape. There is a way out, and if he will take the key and open the door, he will soon find himself "in green pastures" and "beside the still waters."
Mary Baker Eddy writes in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 99), "Truth has furnished the key to the kingdom, and with this key Christian Science has opened the door of the human understanding."
Few have ever been in a worse predicament than the Apostle Peter, who, during the persecutions of the Christians by Herod, was arrested and sent to prison. His fellow worker James had been killed by the sword. Others in the church had suffered also. Peter himself was to all appearances in a terrible situation. He was bound by two chains, guarded by sixteen soldiers, four during each watch of the night, "and the keepers before the door kept the prison" (Acts 12:6).
