THE PRAYING OF THE SCIENTIST
The Christian Scientist, if he be
faithful, prays without ceasing; but
he prays not to God made in man 8
image and likeness, but to infinite
Mind, infinite Truth, infinite Life, in
finite Love-to the Being who lacks
nothing in wisdom-to the One who
knows without being told what is best
for His children, and who has already
provided for them out of the ampli-
tude OF His inexhaustible store, every
thing they need. The Christian Sci
enlist prays constantly for light and
understanding, for the Mind to be in
him which was also in Christ Jesus,
He prays, If he be true to his faith,
that he may be good man, a good

friend, a good citizen; and, with all
his praying, uttered or unexpressed
he prays that righteousness, justice,
harmony, and tranquility shall dwell
in the consciousness of men through
out all the earth.
THE GREATEST OF THESE is
LOVE
Christian Science is essentially a
religion of faith, hope, love, these
three. To the Christian Scientist the
greatest of these is love, because it
comprehends all-that love which
doth not behave itself unseemly,
seeketh not her own, is not easily pro
voked, thinketh no evil. beareth
all things, believeth all things, hopeth
all things, endureth all things" that
love which from our very beginning
in this new-old faith prompts and
urges US to strive constantly, and en-
ables us to strive successfully, against
every suggestion of error, against
every suggestion of evil, against every
personal resentment, every, everp per
sonal dislike-against every unjust,
The Delta independent., 1924-03-07

uncharitable, unworthy, estimate of
those with whom we come in
contact-until we are brought to a
clearer conception of our place in the
divine plan, to a fuller realization of
our responsibility to God, to our
neighbor, and to ourselves.
Work for US there is in plenty
Everyone must do his part;
Faith is barren, cheap and empty
II not rooted in the heart.
What though thoughts of self beset US,
What though error would restrain?
Freely receive then let
Freely share with all our gain.
Counting as OF little matter
Whom our thoughts may touch today,
'Tis Christly part to scatter
Seeds OF love along our way.
