ROOM FOR ALL

(Wrltten TOT The CnflSlldH ocleice l
 Monitor)
 For every act of daily living there is just the right place. In these days when towns and cities seem to crowded one needs more than ever to prove this by knowing it. Many a person who
 makes this statement, however, thinks of some place on earth that he can see with his human eyes, instead of understanding that man really lives in Mind, not in any material body, house, or world In this Mind which is God, without limits of any sort, there is plenty of room to think and act right
 ly. To dwell wholly there is the only way of true freedom and happiness. Mind is the one right place in which man forever belongs. Here alone can he carry on all of his actual spiritual work. From Mind his real experience can never be separated.
 When Isaac pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar to dwell there and 1 started to dig wells of water, at once | the herdmen of Gerar strove with his | herdmen, saying, The water is ours."
 In other words the people of this land 1 thought, as in many case today, that l there was no room in that valley for
 strangers. It was only when Isaac did | his work fully and found enough wells | of springing water for all that he could
 say, "For now the Lord hath made
 room for us. and we shall be fruitful in
 the land" With patient joy he has set
 to work to know his right place and to
 be blessed of God for being there.
 Thus he proved that good is boundless
 and not limited to any one special spot. Tn1a fr-fr,a
 which this story sets forth, one may think of Isaac's well-digging as show ing merely how strife may be settled
 peaceably by the moving on to an un-
 claimed location. Isaac, however, was constantly depending on God for guid-
 ance. He knew indeed that his whole
 place of living was in infinite Principle
 and as he knew this he found it mani
 fest in just the way that those with
 him could understand. Instead of out
 lining humanly just what plot of ground was theirs he was ever ready to
 be active as wisdom revealed what was
 best to him. The Fear not, for I am
 with thee" of God made him sure of
 where in all his true being he dwelt
 and was bound to prosper unconfined by any material sense of things Fol
 this l AM of which he was ever con-
 scious was certainly infinite Mind. not matter. By reasoning in accord witt
 divine intelligence, Isaac was simply , abiding in and with God in his daily , thinking. Thus he was positive tha } the one spiritual consciousness wa. ; broad enough for his prayerful living , always.
