It seems proper when the world is in such turmoil as it is at this time, that we consider some of the vital forces that are at work for the uplift and betterment of mankind. One of the greatest forces, if not the greatest force for good, is the movement known as Christian Science. It is the solution of every problem confronting mankind to-day, for it is the Science of Life, and in its exposition of the various phases of experience it shows what to do and how to do it. It teaches of God and of man in God's image. It is healing the sick and reforming the sinner. It is making the world better by making mankind better, and is showing the world the utter uselessness of trying to solve life's problem from the basis of material sense, or mind in matter.

Mrs. Eddy, through whose clear, spiritual insight Christian Science was given to the world, was a New England gentlewoman of irreproachable character, and was honored and beloved by her neighbors who were in constant touch with her and knew of her noble, self-sacrificing life. Her voluminous writings breathe the purest ethics, the soundest morals, the loftiest ideals. Under her leadership Christian Science has encircled the globe, and everywhere it has been known by the good it has done. Through its practical demonstration the drunkard loses his desire for drink and the sinner his love of sin. It opens to the awakened consciousness new visions of life and its responsibilities. It awakens the dead in trespasses and sin to newness of life in Christ Jesus.

Mrs. Eddy says (Science and Health, p. 113), "The vital part, the heart and soul of Christian Science, is Love." It teaches the worship of God, whom the beloved disciple said is Love, and consequently when its followers are maligned and abused, they learn to love their enemies and to bless those that despitefully use them, thus fulfilling the Master's injunction. Christian Science will go on in its beneficent healing and saving mission until the world is regenerated through the Mind that was in Christ Jesus.
