The Harmony of Life

C. L. E.

The need of the hour, what is it? It is love. Is there aught else that can effect a lasting healing of earth's woes? Our life-work should be to discover the infinite character of divine Love in its multifarious manifestations. In Love are infolded and unfolded all the virtues known in heaven.

No Christian Scientist asserts that only Christian Scientists can love, but they have learned, in all humility, that Christian Science alone reveals the true concept of divine Love. Each individual must discover for himself his true and only selfhood, his selfhood of spirituality, of love. As each one does this, infinity will resound with unnumbered chords at-one. Then does one God, one Mind appear as All in all, and known. The loving heart can but think rightly, and thinking rightly, is ever beholding the perfect manifestation of Spirit.

In her deeply inspiring work, "Retrospection and Introspection," Mrs. Eddy has written, "The rare bequests of Christian Science are costly, and they have won fields of battle, from which the dainty borrower would have fled. Ceaseless toil, self-renunciation, and love, have cleared its pathway" (p. 46). Do we appreciate sufficiently what unselfed love in one individual can do, has done for mankind, and thus gain the inspiration which it affords? We should ever and anon feel that wellspring of Truth and Love flowing out from within us, of which Christ speaks.
