SOURCE OF ALL GOOD
Reliance: upon civil governments, even the most powerful and benevolent of such governments, cannot impart a consciousness of complete security, writes Mr Lewis Rex Miller in the Christian Science Monitor For civil governments are man-made institutions, composed of human beings They can be really powerful, really efficient, only as they themselves recognise the sovereignty of a higher power, which is spiritual It is in this higher power that the citizen, also, must place his trust In the measure that he does so, he will gain the sense of protection and of supply that only Spirit can impart. The individual •' is today tempted to follow the current trend and look to local or national officials to supply his needs may well remember the prophecy of Isaiah that “the government shall be upon his shoulder ’’ (The Prince of Peace’s) He must look beyond the dispenser of goods and favours to the source of all good. Then, wehther his wants may be supplied through private or through public channels, he will have the satisfaction of knowing that his needs have been met through his own realisation of his true relationship to the power which supplies all good.
