Radio Program - The Urge toward Universal Harmony

A Christian Science period in the "Radio Chapel" series was conducted from Station WOR in New York City and heard from the Mutual Broadcasting System network on Sunday, May 23. The program was conducted by Henry Edison Williams, a former First Reader in a Christian Science church, and was presented under the direction of the Committee on Publication for the State of New York with the approval of The Christian Science Board of Directors. During the program, Hymns Nos. 10, 96, 167, and 175 in the Christian Science Hymnal were sung by a quartet. The address read by Mr. Williams was substantially as follows:

There is a tremendous force at work in the world today. And this great force, translated into human terms, is mankind's age old and never-absent quest for better things.

We see an expression of this fact in the heartening altruism of many of the proposals concerning the post-war world; we see it in the renaissance of practical, healing Christianity appearing in modern religious activities; we see it graphically illustrated in the numerous instances of miraculous endurance and humanly unexplainable rescues that have followed the soldiers and sailors who, in times of stress, have confidently turned away from self and toward the infinite, seeking succor. We see it in the recognition given to spiritual factors by many outstanding natural scientists, such as Sir James Jeans. Aldous Huxley, Dr. Arthur Compton.
