May the allness of God, Love, and the nothingness of aught else serve to cover the question of your protection, and the allness of good, and the powerlessness and non-existence of evil be the reality of your thought.

Truth demonstrated is not a flight from one extreme to another, but is a “firmament” to divide the waters from the waters. Desire ye that your “flight” (your turning) from matter to Spirit, be not in the absence of demonstration…. “On the Sabbath day” — the Sabbath spiritually seen; have we ever pictured it? — the Sabbath of the world! Now is the time to work, to turn from matter to Spirit.

Begin to act as though you had dominion, and as though the fear was a baseless fraud; and for the sole reason that Good is omnipotent, and that a knowledge of the Truth does make free from error, you will find, to your joy, and perhaps surprise, that men, governed by Intelligence, can triumph over evil.

You must use the abilities you have. Man is God-acting, so think of it as God-acting, not God helping man. No suggestion can stand between you and progress.

The Christian Scientist is actively about his Father’s business. He is wide awake to the fact that evil ever keeps pace with good and he acts accordingly. He is not hurried, but to him each hour is valuable. Because God is constantly unfolding to His own idea the infinity of good, the wise man does not miss this wondrous unfoldment.

Let us refuse to allow error to attach itself to us in any way, shape, or manner. Its claim that it once had activity, presence, power, cause, intelligence, or law is a false and spurious claim, and should be seen and handled only as its last, desperate effort, since all else has failed, to get itself perpetuated as a belief of memory. Let us refuse to give it life, even to that extent.

Prayer that is right makes over the mind of him who prays. It is evil giving up its boast. Its logical result is increased selflessness. And thought so purified cannot fail to receive an answer to prayer. Such prayer is righteous power, for it defeats everything that would obstruct spiritual progress.
