There - only one principle Of any

we do not have two principles. one
that produces discord and another
that produces harmony. There is
only one. md that one brings
about concord and harmony: any

christian Science
Hymnal. No. So
When the Science of divine good is
understood. this glorious truth Is
fulfilled in our lives.
Truth Destroys Jealousy
As We understand more and
more the facts OF being. the all
ness. the oneness. the supremacy
of good. we attain our freedom
from one of the most enslaving
traits of the carnal mind. namely.
jealousy. Good is boundless and
unlimited. and all of good is
available TO man. He "giveth us
richly all things to enjoy" is the
Scriptural promise. The whole Of
good is mans to enjoy and reflect.
True living is not a material, or
ganic. or fleshly experience. but is
process Of true thinking and
spiritual knowing. The only en-
joyment of good is the conscious
ness Of good. AS we perceive and
become conscious of the good
which another is expressing, we
are enjoying that same good. The
greater our appreciation Of good,
no matter who expresses it, the
more Of good comes into our own
experience. What thou seest, that
thou beest," wrote a classic writer,
and as we see the fullness Of good
we know that il is for everyone TO
appropriate and enjoy.
What is il that seems TO cause
jealousy but the belief that some
one has some form of good that is
unavailable to us Good is every
where, so man is in its divine pres
ence All creation is in that divine
presence. Each one is divinely
equipped to see that ever-present
good, and his vision of IL never in
terferes with another's view Of IT.
Any form Of good that is available
to anyone is available to everyone.
When we realize this great fact we
are not envious of our brothers
good, but constantly rejoice In uni
versal good. We are not only
happy that he has 1t, but that
everyone has ii. Let us suppose
that one had a very keen sense of
beauty and a highly developed
appreciation of that which is love-
ly and fair. One of his favorite
diversions would be to go to a
beautiful art gallery and study the
paintings that were there. in all
their loneliness and grandeur. At
times he might go alone, and at
other times he would take group
OF his friends along. On such &C.
casions he would point out to his
friends the beauty and grace that
he had preceived through his study
and contemplation. His own en-
joyment would not be curtailed
but greatly enhanced by his graci-
Gus sharing with his friends Of
his own vision OF beauty and love-
illness. He who shares good re-
ceives good. He knows the free
dom Of good. the dominion of good,
the buoysncy Of good. Gods bless
ings are not confined, but are
infinite-to be equally shared and
enjoyed by all.
Beautiful Example
What q beautiful example OF
this we have in the life of Moses.
BY reason Of his close walk with
God. Moses was endowed with the
spirit of prophecy and wisdom.
There were two young men in the
camp who also prophesied. One Of
Moses trusted lieutenants came TO
him and said. MY lord Moses, for
bid them" but Moses replied:
"Enviest thou for my sake would
God that all the Lords people
were prophets. and that the Lord
would put his spirit upon them!"
How beautifully our great Master
brought home the same gracious
lesson, The Apostle John saw one
casting out devils in Jesus name.
and forbade him. but Jesus said.
FORBID him not: for he that is
not against US is for us" Chris
tan Science shows us how TO
attain our oneness with divine
Mind. the source Of all that is
good. and 10 see clearly that all
Of Gods children are at one with
the Father and at one with one
another. Great JOY is ours when
the good which we so earnestly
desire we also desire for our
brother. but the greatest JOY is
ours when we know that the sbun-
dance Of good is already divinely
his.
