ADJUSTMENT, NOT SHORTAGE

conditions today can be maze only
through spiritual insight and an in
creased understanding of Gods law
of ,unfailng supply. Supply can be
proved equal to demand, because in
Gods universe there is no shortage
of good.
Gods abundant supply never
changes. 1t does not come and go
with the tide of mortal thinking.
God is abundantly pouring forth all
good, and the real man is continually
receiving this good. For proper hui
man adjustment, thought must yield
to the divine in every instance. Per-
sonal planning, ambitions, habits,
and fixed rules g. human conduct
must accord with that which is best
for the greatest number. An under
standing of what constitutes reality
will adjust any sense Of shortage
that would try to present itself. There
is a right idea present and available
to give us daily whatever to our lin
for human use. In the thought which
is tractable, spiritual, peaceable, these
ideas will come to light.
Right adjustment, then, is spirit
ually mental adjustment to Gods law.
This adjustment relinquishes human
will and seliishness and resigns all
to the dear Fathers tender, loving
care. No shortage can occur from
this adjustment, and many latent pos
sibilties of increase will be brought
into expression.
When our dear Master, Christ
Jesus, discerned the human need of
the multitude for food, after they
had listened long to his preaching
and he found that among them there
were but five loaves and two fishes,
he commanded that all be seated.
"And when he had taken the five
loaves and the two fishes, he looked
up to heaven, and blessed, and brake
the leaves. :. And they did all eat,
and were filled" Clark Gal, 42). To
human sense, the visible supply
seemed very inadequate, and there
was much room for doubt as to the
possibility of meeting the need. New
ertheless, the unfailing confidence of
the Master and his recognition of in
finite power put to silence any argu-
ment of limitation, and all accepted
the increase without question.
Jesus did not entertain an argu-
ment of shortage. He did not ques-
ton whether there was enough to
go around. Neither did he consider
what he would do when the supply
was depleted. He knew that God
was supplying the needs of all, and
that this supply was at hand regard
less of the testimony of mortal sense.
"He looked up 10 heaven, and blessed,
and brake the loaves." He looked to
God, whose law was adequate to
bring the proper increase. By his
spiritual wisdom Jesus proved for
us that supply comes through spir
itual thinking, and that no human
condition can deprive the right
thinker of anything he needs.
In miscellaneous Writings" Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder OF Christian Science, states
(p. Bod God gives you His spiritual
ideas, and in turn, they give you daily
supplies. Never ask for tomorrow: it
is enough that divine Love is an ever
present help; and if you wait, never
doubling, you will have all you need
every moment" What blessed as
surance this is!
state of mortal thought which
would delay proper adjustment is
that one which boards material
things at the sacrifice of others we'll
being and comfort. Hoartling is an
act of selfishness, and deprives the
one who INDUCES it of his reliance
upon God, the source and substance
of all true supply. To hoard is to
admit shortage and limitation and
to invite their appearing. Those who
wish to abide by our Masters COM
mandmenis, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind, and with all thy strength" and
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself'' Mark 1890, 81, will not
engage in the practice of limiting
their sense of good
Let the one who is contemplating
future inconveniences and losses turn
bis thoughts to God, who is the Giver
and Protector of all good. Can any
thing change Gods universal plan?
Can Mind, which gives us daily sup
plies, ever cease in its production of
ideas? Can good lapse into evil or
Love change into hate? No, the uni
VerSal law of Love can never be
touched by anything base or I'M
worthy. Nothing can ever change
the uninterrupted continuity of
Spirit. Gods law is continually in
operation. Hence, whatever adjust
ment needs to take place is in indi-
vidual thinking, so that the human
may yield to the divine and Gods
omnipotence be demonstrated on
earth.
Gods law is a law of sufficiency.

give to another He "is no respecter
OF persons" (Ac!s 1880, but He sup
plies all of His children with spir-
itual ideas, and all who will accept
them can demonstrate daily supply.
