Sometimes we hear a student of Christian Science remark, "How I regret that I did not find Science before I was twenty so that I could have attended the Christian Science Sunday School!" While realizing the great value of being a student in the Sunday School during one's early years, we also know that the Christian Science movement wisely provides for every member the fullest opportunity to partake of its blessings; and should the need arise for us to have any particular experience, divine Love will open the way.
Mortal mind would have us believe that certain experiences helpful to our spiritual growth have been denied us because of age, time, locality, or other material circumstances. Its arguments are: too late, too old, not enough time, or not enough education. Unless we are alert to silence these lies, they would fetter us and confine our experience to an endless routine of material existence from which there seems to be no escape. Christian Science teaches us that God, good, who is infinite Mind, is the source of all true action. Therefore, man, the manifestation of God, always expresses harmonious activity.
The acknowledgment of these truths and the willingness to open our thought to the never-ending resources of infinite Mind break the spell of limited ability, and we find our daily activities increasingly more fruitful and satisfying. It should be remembered that Mind provides the opportunity as well as the wisdom and ability to go forward. Our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, reminds us, "When, as little children, we are receptive, become willing to accept the divine Principle and rule of being, as unfolded in divine Science, the interpretation therein will be found to be the Comforter that leadeth into all truth."
