Its Tenets all for Peace

Boston Herald

Apropos of the Peace Congress now being held in Boston, the Wednesday services at the Christian Science Church last evening dealt with the subject of peace, and the First Reader of the church read selections from the Bible and from the Christian Science text-book bearing on that subject. The hymns selected for the occasion were in the same line of thought. Among the selections from Science and Health, the Christian Science text-book, the most appropriate, perhaps, was the following: —

"One infinite God, good, unifies men and nations; constitutes the brotherhood of man ; ends wars ; fulfils the Scripture, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' "

After the opening exercises the meeting was given into the hands of the congregation, who occupied the time in short talks, many of them indicating how Christian Science had helped them to adjust their differences with their fellow-men through brotherly love and without strife and contention, pointing to the fact that the differences of nations could be settled by the exercise of the same principles. If all men were Christian Scientists, it was contended, war would end at once, because the practice based upon the principles of Christian Science would not permit of any conflict whatever.
