IN the outstanding executive there appears a spark of character that spells the difference between routine performance and brilliant success. Christian Science enables one to find that spark, to understand its source, and to develop it in himself as well as in others.
The Bible gives a number of outstanding examples of executive ability, and in each instance the key factor was spiritual-mindedness. Joseph was taken from prison and made food administrator for all of Egypt because of his ability to perceive the meaning of a dream that Pharaoh had had. His spiritual qualities evidently contributed to his organizing skill also, for he was able to gather enough produce during seven plenteous years to have corn to sell to other nations during the seven years of famine that followed.
Later Gideon, inspired by the Lord, selected and organized in ways that were positively unique a small army to battle with a much larger army of Midianites. Gideon's victory was decisive.
