"READY TO DISTRIBUTE"

From the January 1965 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It is natural that we should want only the best for those we love. As we enlarge our concept of Love, all mankind become progressively dearer to us, and we want the best for everyone. The most wonderful thing in the world is a demonstrable understanding of the holy truths of the Comforter, Christian Science. Should it not be natural, then, for its adherents to want to bring it to the attention of others?

In Paul's first letter to his faithful student Timothy, he advised him to admonish the well-to-do not only to be humble and trust God but also to be "rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate" (I Tim. 6:18). Though apparently referring to those who are rich in worldly things, his admonition surely applies to those who are spiritually rich as well. What a fine standard of daily conduct it is for the student of Christian Science to be "ready to distribute, willing to communicate"!

As our love for Science increases, we shall be more ready and willing to distribute and communicate its great truths. Indeed, may we not also say that our love for God and our fellowmen can be measured by our readiness and willingness to present Christian Science to others? As our love for mankind expands, we shall never be without opportunities to present these great truths.
