"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also," Matt. 6:21; we read in Matthew.
As a young student of Christian Science, I constantly questioned just what this treasure was. I felt the passage must have very special meaning for me, deep undertones.
Some particular phrase or clause—a statement of two or three words even— would seem to jump right off the page at me, either in the Bible or Mrs. Eddy's writings. I would go back over it and over it, time and again, and would find it, finally, always present for instant recall for support and instruction in working out some problem. It then began to dawn upon my spiritually hungry thought that possibly this had something to do with the treasure the Bible speaks of. I was not just storing up words or even intellectual concepts. As I pondered these treasured passages, spiritual qualities began to be awakened in me: mercy, joy, kindness, unselfed love, purity, inner quiet, and the like.
