The Coming Race

BY WALDO PONDRAY WARREN.

Those who are familiar with Bulwer Lytton's famous tale of "The Coming Race," in which he pictures an ideal state in human progress, can readily appreciate how far his ideal is surpassed by every-day life in Christian Science.

Our "vril" is a thought, whose fleet wings are the ever-presence of Mind, whose power is the omnipotence of Good. It can destroy only the evil, and rules by Love instead of fear. Our perpetual light is not from the earth's internal heat, but is the infinite light of Spirit, God, in whom is no darkness at all. Our tasks are not performed by lifeless automatons aping intelligence, but by the utilization of Omnipotence.
