What the world now needs is some Christianity; it is starving for lack of love. We seem to have forgotten that the mission of Jesus of Nazareth was one of mercy. Instead of sowing the seed of human hate, Jesus spent his time in healing the sick, uplifting the fallen, and binding up the broken-hearted; and this is precisely what Christian Scientists are trying to do.
