MRS. EDDY gives us the following inspiring message in "Miscellaneous Writings" (p. 313): "The field waves its white ensign, the reapers are strong, the rich sheaves are ripe, the storehouse is ready: pray ye therefore the God of harvest to send forth more laborers of the excellent sort, and garner the supplies for a world."
The imperative call for workers for the Cause of Christian Science is not limited to those on the threshold of the public practice or to those newly elected or appointed to some responsible office within The Mother Church or a branch church. The need for "laborers of the excellent sort" is to be found at every level within the Christian Science movement.
At the beginning step, when one accepts Christian Science as the way of Life, this is the time to prepare for the next step away from materiality and nearer to the complete acceptance of Soul as Life. And in seeking to gain more from Christian Science, it is a time for one to give more, through gratitude, humility, obedience. By serving in the Church of Christ, Scientist, one helps to present the gift of Christian Science to the world.
