In these days of increasing automation and ever-larger corporations, many people find that their employment is not fully satisfying. Seeing less and less scope for individual achievement in their work, they are inclined to turn to recreation, stimulants, and mere sociability for the joy which their work should give. How can Christian Science help such as these?
A student of Christian Science faced with a problem of dissatisfaction in his work applies to the situation the truth taught by this religion. He starts his prayerful reasoning with God, recognizing that God is the only cause, the only power, the only source of activity. He acknowledges that man's purpose is to express God, to evidence His qualities, and that this purpose cannot be obstructed, because it is in fulfillment of God's law. He is grateful that as the evidence of Principle, the source of law and order, man is always rightly placed; that as the idea of Mind, he reflects ability and acumen; that as the witness for Life, he is active and alert; that the omnipresence of Truth rules out the possibility of mistake and misplacement; that as the reflection of Soul, man is satisfied and joyous; that Spirit governs the quality and quantity of man's experience; that as the beloved child of God, who is Love, man has all good here and now.
As the Christian Scientist understands these and related truths, he rejoices that the suggestion of failure is a false claim without power or law to support it. And as he holds to these truths, regardless of what appears to be the difficulty in his work, he sees this difficulty solved.
