Everyone desires to feel secure and
serene, to feel that there is an in
vulnerable protection shielding him
at all times,
To know that every righteous
thought and act has divine, hence in
vulnerable, protection and immunity
from evil is great Joy and comfort
to spiritually enlightened men and
women. In the factory. Office, home,
on the highway, in the air-yes. even

whose thought dwells in God has
found the one invulnerable arma-

Baker Eddy's words on page 277 of
miscellaneous Writings" where she
says: mo evidence before the ma
terial senses can close my eyes to the
scientific proof that God, good, is su-

about Him, the divine justice and
judgment are enthroned. Love is es-

able the spiritual armament of the
righteous, when he sang Psalms 81:
|. 5, y: "He that dwelleth in the
secret place of the most High shall

New Testament, which recounts
many instances Of divine protection
and deliverance experienced by those
whose faith in God never wavered in
times of trouble and temptation.
"God is no respecter of persons"
(Acts 10:34), and His love and tender
care are as available to one as
another. When understood, Gods
goodness is seen to be everywhere;
when it is utilized, the sick are
healed, the lame made whole, the
dumb regain speech, the blind see,
