means to exp - love, to be helpful,
therefore to meet love, to be recon-
pensed. 1t means to express intelli-
gence, and therefore to be needed, to
be in request. Since everything is
thought, the only real activity is
thinking, and no one. can be stopped
thinking. To think rightly and ac-
lively is to be employed and must re-
suit in right human employment.
Consequently no one need be I'M
employed.
Supply consists of ideas. Even from
the human standpoint this is true.
Everything really is an exchange Of
labor, of value, or an exchange Of
ideas. Now there is never an idle
idea, never a useless idea. In the
universe of Spirit the perpetual I'M
foldment or interchange of ideas goes
on spontaneously. I'm Gods crea-
ton ideas become productive, obedi-
ent to Mind" Science and Health
tells us Up. 544). This is what we
need to remember, to affirm, and to
understand in order to make a bust
ness prosperous or to obtain needful
supply. It must be borne in mind
that there is never shortage of
ideas, they are infinite and limitless
and belong equally to each of us. 1t
is our attitude towards these ideas
that matters. We need to appreciate
their value. Let us suppose that q
man has shop and wants to make
it a success. What is he dealing with
primarily? Not things, but human
thoughts. TranSlating things into
thoughts, he needs to see how val
liable and desirable are his wares.
The ideas of willing service, of hon.
esty. of efficiency, and graciousness
are amongst those he has to offer,
and everyone wants these and val
ues these and is glad to remunerate
the individuals expressing them.
Even the butter and eggs or the boots
and shoes he may sell express
thoughts of usefulness or nourish-
ment, and so on.
Again let us see that there is no re-
lation between money and needs. It Is
divine Mind thatsupplies all our needs.
Here distinction must be made be-
tween wants and needs. You might
aoant to buy large property or to
take world tour, but that would be
want, not need. Everything you
need you can legitimately claim and
appropriate from the divine affiuence
without counting your money. If you
say, IF I buy this now which I need
I may not have enough to get so and
so later which also need" you are
limiting yourself, and looking not to
Mind but to pelf to supply you. Re-
member that the pounds, shillings,
and pence are but the symbol of the
infinite supply that is behind them.
The widows cruise never ran dry, and
in the same way, the funds will never
fail you if you look to the infinite
Mind to supply them.
Lack is mesmeric in it's tendencies.
therefore it must be broken by iterat-
ing and reiterating the truth. The
truth it is most essential to perceive
in this connection is that of mans
unity with his divine source. Lack

Maintain your uninterrupted unity
with the inexhaustible source of all
good, your oneness with the produce

In the last analysis, my friends.
this thought Of oneness with the dis

of all our problems. II and nv
Father are one," said the Master, and
he further prayed THAT they all NAV
be one -. even as we are one" To
be one with God means to be COM
forted, to be protected, to be empow-
cred, and to be supplied at all points
and at all times. It means the sat-
isfying of all our desires, for God
includes all, and SO there can be noth-
ing left to desire. Maintain this ONE
ness, for it is Gods free gift to man:
and in the measure that you grasp il.
you will find it to be the transformer
of experience. Faber, who wrote so
many well-known hymns, has en-
pressed this thought in the follow.
ing words:
ITO think of Him as by our side
Is almost as untrue
AS to remove His throne beyond
Those skies Of starry blue.
So all the while I thought myself
Homeless, forlorn, and weary.

Myself Gods sanctuary"
