Eye on the world: Syria’s children
In “Why are Syrian children holding photos of Pokemon Go characters?” The Christian Science Monitor reports that desperate Syrian civilians living in the civil war-torn country, are capitalizing on the global craze over the smartphone game “Pokemon Go.” A social media campaign that features Syrian children holding pictures of Pokemon characters aims to remind the world of the suffering of Syria’s adolescents. “Photos have been a powerful tool for raising awareness about the plight of Syrian children during the course of the on-going five-year humanitarian crisis and civil war in the country.” This is “a cry for the world not to forget about the children of Syria.”
Ideas on this subject:
From the Bible:
I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, … yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
From the writings of Mary Baker Eddy:
The poor suffering heart needs its rightful nutriment, such as peace, patience in tribulation, and a priceless sense of the dear Father’s loving-kindness.
— Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, pp. 365–366
Though the way is dark in mortal sense, divine Life and Love illumine it, destroy the unrest of mortal thought, the fear of death, and the supposed reality of error. Christian Science, contradicting sense, maketh the valley to bud and blossom as the rose.

In “Tenderness”: “The creator of all, the Father-Mother of the universe, actually loves His creation with a tenderness which is measureless! This means that man, individual man, is cared for, protected, governed by divine Love, absolutely perfectly.” And “Were men clearly to realize that God’s idea, man, is forever at-one with God, is forever at-one with divine Love, which is infinite, all fear would be destroyed, and they would be rendered immune from every form of disaster, and from every form of human suffering.”
In “You are not isolated”: “Man, the son of God, is Godlike. He is spiritual, controlled and cared for by his heavenly Father. And God is his only source of good, not people or human conditions.” And “Whatever our present human situation, whether Christian Science is new to us or not, we can get over any belief of mortal isolation, or separation from God. We can turn from dependence on ourselves or others to the ever-present help of God.”
