From the November 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christmas without the anti-Christ

An editorial—"The Christmas season should be one of thoughtful acknowledgment of Jesus' coming, but we must pursue the deeper implications of what Jesus represented. He turned people away from his finite personality to recognize his Principle, God. He encouraged his followers to accept that Christ is not a human personality but God's saving presence, always here—'before Abraham' and 'unto the end of the world.'"

The continuity of being
"Finite belief thinks in finite terms and then suffers the limitations of its own belief. It's only from the standpoint of infinite Mind, or God, that we begin to see beyond the limits of mortal sense."

Control—resting squarely on Mind

"The material picture of a world in trouble is no more real than the minor irritants of life the physical senses present, such as a traffic jam. On whatever scale, chaos—the disordered state of things in which chance reigns—has no place in Mind's universe."
