A Sumciency Of
All Things Needful
TODAY, some of the sources of

TODAY, some of the sources of
our customary supply are closed.
Yet there is, and always will be,
adequate provision for our needs in
the infinitude of Gods universe.
We may ask, How can this assunp-
ton be proved practical? Should
we not be willing to utilize the truth
of the familiar assurance from the
twenty third Psalm, "The Lord is my
shepherd; | shall not WANT? Per-
haps we have admitted that if we
trust in God we shall not lack cour-
age, strength, or sustaining, protect
ing presence. But would God be Love
if we could not further rely on His
power to be made manifest in ways
that meet all phases of human need?
God, who created man, could not
allow His own creation to be de-
prived of aught that is necessary to
sustain life and harmony.
To the divine presence, warfare is
unknown. 1t does not affect the sub
limity of God 1t does not enter Gods
kingdom. Through spiritual sense we
may enter and abide in His kingdom.
Through spiritual understanding we
may realize that since warfare has
no place in His kingdom. the So
called results Of warfare can have no
effect on Gods ever efficacious
power. Therefore, we should moi ac-
cept for ourselves or for others limi-
tations based on conditions resulting
from war. To do so would be to limit
Gods power. This would be an alb
surdty, for God, Life, is the eternal
source of life, and of all that sustains
and protects infinite being, including
individual man.
Gods care of the children of Israel
during their wanderings through the
desert proved His goodness in prac-
teal way. When the people com
planned of hunger, God declared (Ex-
odus 16:D, Behold, will rain bread
from heaven for YOU" Moses, under
divine direction, then said to the
people EXODUS 16:16-18), Gather
of ii every man according to his eat
ing. take We every man for them
which are in his tents" And we are
told that "the children of Israel did
so, and gathered, some more, some
less. And when they did mete it with
an omer, he that gathered much had
nothing over, and he that gathered
little had no lack" Moses instructed
them to leave none till the morning,
knowing that the divine promise
would not fail. But some, moved by
greed or fear, diSobeyed; and in the
morning that which they had
boarded was unsuitable for use.
The lesson is a pointed one. The
law of Love, Gods law of supply,
operates with Justice towards all.
Security and freedom from fear of
lack may come 30 each one through
consccrated daily prayer and ODE
dlence.
Christ Jesus utilized Gods law of
provision TO meet human needs. His
faithful follower, Mary Baker Eddy,
the Discoverer and Founder of
Christian Science, understood that
Gods law blesses mankind. AS an
earnest student of the Bible she
came to understand God as unchang-
ing Love. In miscellaneous Writ
ings" (p. 300 she gives this particl1-
larly helpful assurance: 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 a glorious Inheritance is given
to us through the understanding of
omnipresent Love! More we cannot
ask: more we do not want: more we
cannot have" ).
False rumors should not be al
lowed to influence one to become
fearful. Governed by humility, faith,
spiritual understanding, and obedi.
ence, each one will prove the ever
operative power of divine law to
provide for individual needs, and for
the larger needs of the nations.
Praying, with faith in God as the
infinite source of supply, will help
to break the mesmerism of fear and
Limitation for all mankind. Mrs.
Eddy writes in her textbook,
Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures" Up. 13): Glove is impair
tial and universal in its adaptation
and bestowals. 1t is the open fount
which cries, 'Ho. every one that
thirsteth, come we to the waters"
As more and more individuals real
ize this spiritual fact, divine Loves
OmnipreSence will be felt and
proved Nothing can limit the power
of Love or shut out its continual
manifestation. Magnifying in our
own hearts the love of God will
bring to light better understand
ing of Him, and with it a sulIiciency
Of all things needful at the right
time, and in the right way. - The
