Let Us Build!

LEAH BOHN

At no time in the history of the Christian Science movement has there been a more glorious opportunity than is offered today for Christian Scientists to prove that God is supreme and active. The whole world, economically and spiritually, faces a call to rise and build; to build up courage, confidence, and brotherly love, and to build them upon everlasting foundations.

In this call to action, the Christian Scientist does not stand apart in isolated abstraction. He stands side by side with all workers, facing world problems and conditions. But he faces them with the realization that as God, Mind, is the builder, all building progresses in proportion to the constructiveness of individual thinking; and he faces them with the superb conviction that the omnipresence and omnipotence of that Mind insure its demonstration. With gratitude, he realizes that in the extremity of need, human thought has been awakened in a remarkable degree to spiritual necessities; and he rejoices because he knows that in Christian Science there is waiting for the world's acceptance that which can lift mankind to apprehend the certainty and availability of all good.

How inevitable that in the world's great need there should be awakened an increasing desire to know the truth as it is revealed and demonstrated in Christian Science! On the wings of inspired purpose comes the call to enlarge our capacities for the dissemination of the healing and regenerating truth, that the heart of seekers need not be left comfortless. The undertaking of the erection of a new Publishing House brings with it two dominant causes for gratitude: first, gratitude for the evidence that Truth is being sought with increasing appreciation; secondly, gratitude for the knowledge that, as our revered Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, expresses it (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494), "To all mankind and in every hour, divine Love supplies all good."
