...Christian Science teaches us to look for the motive behind every thought, to learn more of God, to draw from the pure, exhaustless fount of Truth.

We must feel the danger and lift our thought to God; He will save us. If we do not feel the danger, and go right on, as though everything were all right, declaring you are all right, you cannot die, etc., when the seeming is all wrong, you will not be watching with God.

Man must remember what he is, and who he is, and what he does. Man is the image and likeness of God. Man is the manifestation, expression, reflection of divine Truth, Life and Love, and man manifests, expresses, reflects divine Truth, Life, and Love.

A student might retreat to some quiet place in order to gain a sense of God’s nearness, far removed from the upsetting contact with the world. But of what value would such a sense of good be?
