A group of people were talking. One said, "Well, it's a fact that our business has progressed faster this past year than in all the previous years. Look at the figures." Another said, "There are some things that are positive fact; these cannot be overlooked." And still another said, "Like two times two are four, I suppose." And with this they went their ways.
But one who overheard these remarks thought, "How true it is that a fact gives a sure foundation from which to build further steps along the line of advancement!" A fact, he thought, is not something one hopes will be true; it is that which is already true. It is present to be discovered, accepted, and worked with advantageously.
Great spiritual facts of our true being are revealed in Christian Science through the Bible and its spiritual interpretation in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. These facts are vital to our happiness and progress. They are the true conceptions of spiritual reality, just at hand in the one heavenly Mind to be discerned, accepted, and utilized. Thinking out from the basis of these facts, we have a sure foundation from which to advance in the infinite range of good, of true power, of dominion over erroneous conclusions and beliefs.
