supply in his everyday life. True
supply always comes direct from
God TO each individual.
God has given each one an in
dividual instance of supply that
is illimitable, spiritual, change
less, ever present, and always
available. Can you imagine peo-
pie warning with each other over
the use of arithmetic? The great
est enemies, so-called, are in
perfect accord on basic mathe-
matical facts because they see
them as ideas. No one fears that
one nation can deprive another
nation because it uses these ideas,
or that one individual can de-
prive another individual because
he uses these ideas. True supply
is spiritual and infinite; so why
not admit that you can enjoy it
and that everyone else can enjoy
it at the same time?
Because supply is infinite, our
human sense of supply multiplies
with the correct use of divine
ideas. Supply seems to diminish
with use only because people
believe that it is material, that
there is only so much of it, and
each use of it dirninishes it.
When we use the human
manifestation of supply ioyfully
to pay proper obligations and
thereby acknowledge that we
have received good, we open the
door to a larger sense of supply.
The money one uses to pay his
gas bill is not actually his supply.
1t is merely a symbol agreed
upon by mortals for acknowledge
ing the receipt of the gas. The
gas is the supply which he needed
humanity, and when he pays for
it, is he not scientifically saying,
sThank you for the gassp and
paving the way for continued
supply of this commodity? The
more of spiritual good that one
gratefully acknowledges, the
more he has to enjoy. The Bible
tells us that we should give mot
grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth cheerful giver" (II
Cor. 9::7), and this applies also to
the payment of our human obli-
cations.
A student of Christian Science
proved this in his own expert
ence. It was at time when he
found himself with very little
supply and in the midst of a de-
preston. One day there was a
small bill TO be paid. The thought
came to him that he didn't have
to pay it right away, that it could
wait until the. first of the next
month; that would still be plenty
of time to give it to the one who
had rendered the service. But
then he thought, This individual
gave us the service when we
needed il, and he didn't ask us to
wait until the first of the next
month to render it." He said to
himself, 81 acknowledge at this
moment what has been given
me-" and Immediately paid the
bill. He did it joyfully, declaring
that in paying his righteous debts
he was evidencing the fact that
all that is really good comes from
God. After the payment was
made he found himself with Just
two dollars, which was his sole
capital. At other times this might
have made him quite fearful. but
because of his great desire to pay
his Just obligation and joyfully
to acknowledge infinite good as
ever present, he felt very happy.
about the situation.
On his way home he met a
man on the street who told him
that he had been trying to reach
him for some time to pay him
some small amount that he owed.
The student had not gone more
than two blocks before he met
another individual who also had
owed him a small amount, and
this was paid. When he reached
home he found in the mail a
letter containing a check for some
service previously rendered. Be-
tween the place where he had
paid his Indebtedness and his
home, he had received more than
three times the amount he had
paid out that day.
Now what had really hap
pened? BY using his supply and
seeing that it really represented
a divine idea, he had enlarged
and multiplied his own sense of
supply. He had thereby destroyed
in some measure his fear of lack.
OF course his improved spiritual
sense of substance was mani
tested in his experience as a
greater evidence of supply than
he had started with when he first
thought of paying the obligation.
He laughingly told friend that
night, 81 believe / could be a
millionaire if / could just pay
enough billsl"
How true it is that our human
experience is thought objectifed.
AS we look out from the spiritual
viewpoint of Gods goodness, we

Let us not put off our recogni-
ton of life abundant. Our be-
loved Master said John 4:S5),
Say not We, There are yet four
months, and then cometh har-
vest? behold, I say unto you. Lift
up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already
to harvest" Supply of every
good thing is wherever we are,
because God is right where we
are, and true supply is spiritual,
not material. Christian Science
has revealed that the fields of
God are now white with the
I harvest of abundance, and this
abundance can be demonstrated
by humanity His fields are al
ways white with the harvest of
