MIND'S DIVINE CONTROL IN LECTURE PREPARATION

From the September 1954 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Our great Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, constantly listened for the still small voice of Truth, and when this voice told her to establish Christian Science lectures, she recognized the message as emanating from God, infinite Mind. Whatever emanates from Mind has a spiritual origin; it is clothed with inspiration and power and operates under Mind's directing.

Because it was divine guidance which Mrs. Eddy followed in establishing Christian Science lectures, we may consider each and every lecture as our opportunity to support and forward, protect and cherish, our Leader's demonstration. We must love our Leader's demonstration in order to forward it from the foundation on which she established it. Love for God and man, love for every divine idea which God revealed to her, was the basis of all our Leader's work. Without love for a Christian Science lecture, one would lack the very quality which had so big a part in Mrs. Eddy's demonstration. Love for a Christian Science lecture makes no efforts to forward it too great.

The Master recognized the ever-presence and omnipotence of divine control, and accepted no other. Knowing that he was subject to this control, he always was where Mind directed him to be; he always did that which Mind inspired him to do; and he always said what Mind guided him to say. Mrs. Eddy proved that no phase of error could come between her demonstration of establishing the Christian Science organization and Mind's divine control.
