‘Mind “is the sovrece of all move
‘ment"” can never believe in depres
sion as real. Having gained the
true idea of activity, one can re
fuse to accept the belief that any
mortal supposition has inter
fered, or ever can interfere, with
harmonious activity.
A business man might be told
by several of his salesmen that
they found sales very poor, and he
‘might learn that someone in a
similar line of business had failed.
He might let anxiety and fear en
ter his thought. This, of course,
\would not be helpful. On the oth
er hand, if he refused to accept
‘wrong thoughts about business
and held to the fact that real ac
tivity comes from divine Mind,
and is always perfect, his affairs
would improve; and ?. this extent
he would hbelp to fmprove con
ditions in general. 5
Since sharmonious activity comes
from Geod, divine Mind, and the
real man, the true selfhood of all,
is the image and likeness of di
vine Mind, the real man’s business
is always good, and spiritual man
is ever rejoicing in harmonious.
activity. The g?at ‘Way-shower,
Christ Jesus, recOgnized that spir
itual man ever reflects God, for
he said, ““The Son can do nothing
of himself, but what he seeth the
Father do: for what things soever
he doeth, these also doeth the Son
likewise.” One who accepts the
true idea of actirity is able to rise
aboye the beliefs of fatigue, mo
notony, and worry: for the reali
zation of the fact that man. re
flects divine Mind gives joyous
strength, freedom, and expectancy
of good.
Since business is in reality the
activity which comes from God,
divice Principle, fear, dishonesty,
greed, selfishness, and lack of
ability are no part of real busi
ness. ‘This Xknowledge ;:nables

ties as having power to operate in
his thought and affairs; and he
sees instead honesty, efficiency,
freedom, love, and joy. The reali
