Unfailing Supply for Fishers of Men

                                            (John Robert Howell)



        "Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen six, result hapiness.  Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery."  (Dickens, David Copperfield)  Wilkins Micawber's frequent bouts of misery were usually the result of his chronically impecunious and feckless nature, but even in these modern times financial worry and anxiety can come calling on almost anyone, even to the prudent and frugal.

        Christian Science provides the only real and permanent answer to what supply and substance really are, though many may feel this is frequently a Brazil-nut concept to crack spiritually.  To most of us (Americans at any rate) sawbucks, fins, and c-notes are supply and the provider of substantial things.  At some point, all of us will need to master the truth of supply on the basis that Christ Jesus mastered it when he fed the thousands with amost nothing materially, but with unlimited wealth and supply in spiritual understanding of God.  He effortlessly embodied omnipotent and omnipresent Truth as a fact.

        Until we get it the way Christ Jesus and Mary Baker Eddy clearly got it we will be subject to the terrible demons of temptation to believe in lack and loss.  But with the inspired teachings of the Bible on this topic, as well as the teachings of Christian Science, we can get it.  Countless men and women have gotten it, and are doing so today.

        A can't-be-over-recommended book:  From the Methodist Pulpit Into Christian Science and How I Demonstrated the Abundance of Substance and Supply by Reverend Severin E. Simonsen (1928).  It should still be available from The Bookmark.
