Yet narrow objections may be taken. It may be said that we have no experience under which mind creates one atom of matter or one unit of energy. Grant it; this fact does not obscure the fact that the mind of man is constantly in an inscrutable way using the substances and energies already in existence and freely introducing among them its own purposes. If the power to use forces belongs to finite mind, the kindred power of creating them can hardly be withheld from Infinite Mind. Finiteness affects the terms in magnitude, but does not disguise the essential relation between matter and mind. Matter does not, can not, in the presence of the human mind preserve its integrity, keep itself intact. In secret fashion the mind finds way among its forces and employs them as truly as if it created them. To insist, as a condition of validity in this great argument, that man should create matter as well as control it, is to be confused by the letter of our finite limitations, rather than instructed by their spirit and power. Of course the Infinite can not be measured by the finite; the finite is but its shadow and must lack somewhat of its substance. We are not to force our argument to travel on all fours. If it were shown that man did create force, the objector might still urge that he should be shown to create force indefinitely.

New Thought Holidays

New Thought Day was declared by James Edgerton on August 23rd, 1915
During research while expanding the free New Thought Library, one of the ministers came across an interesting quote from early New Thought Alliance President James A. Edgerton: "'The truth, once announced, has the power not only to renew but to extend itself. New Thought is universal in its ideals and therefore should be universal in its appeal. Under the guidance of the spirit, it should grow in good works until it embraces many lands and eventually the whole world.' ~ New Thought Day, August 23rd , 1915."
