MENTAL influences determine our experience. When our thinking is governed by God, infinite Mind, we reflect His unlimited intelligence: we are awake to righteousness, we are spiritually productive, and we are joyful witnesses to the Science of Christ.

SOMETIMES a sense of despair may seem to push us to the extreme point where, like Elijah in the wilderness, we may be tempted to cry out ( I Kings 19:4 ), "It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
