There is a story of a small boy who never spoke a word if he could possibly avoid doing so. He was happy and quite normal, but he just seemed to prefer remaining silent, even with his own parents. Then one evening at dinner they served him some turnips. He pushed his plate aside, then declared, "I don't want any turnips. I don't like turnips. I never have liked turnips, and I never will like turnips. I'll be glad to eat anything except turnips." When his torrent of words had subsided, his mother joyfully exclaimed, "Why, Junior, it's wonderful to hear you say so much at one time. Why haven't you done so before?" Junior calmly replied, "Well, up to now, everything was going just fine."

Now this is not a dissertation against turnips. But for the purpose of the point, the human race seems to have been somewhat like Junior. With few exceptions, it has silently accepted material good and material bad, material life and material death, as part of its daily dish. But now a dish has been placed upon the table of the world, which the human race has found to be even more distasteful than turnips were to Junior.

It seems that one concept of matter, called atomic fusion, is threatening to destroy another concept of matter, called a human race. Atomic fusion has resulted in human confusion. Human thought is obviously frightened.

We can all thank God that the solution exists right now, right here, and that we can use that solution right now, right here. Human plight, or human fright, is completely dispelled by divine light. Dominion over the atom, and dominion over the fear of the atom, is fully achieved through the spiritual understanding of what God really is, and of what actually constitutes His creation. Christian Science provides this complete understanding and complete dominion.
