Peacemaking

HERBERT L. FRANK

The achievement of peace in human affairs is dependent upon conformity to divine law. The Psalmist said, "Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them." As it is natural to obey that which we love and understand, a pure affection for the law of God will unfold the right motive which impels obedience to His law; and obedience to God's law constitutes a sure pathway to peace.

To those laboring for the establishment of greater harmony in the affairs of mankind Christian Science brings a message of genuine comfort because it presents the one logical, scientific, and Christian method whereby beliefs of misunderstanding or contention may be overcome. This religion shows men the way of peace by unfolding to them an understanding of the law of God in its application to human problems.

The peace which follows the application of the law of God to our problems is permanent and good, because everything which emanates from God is in agreement with His nature, and God is eternal good. In order to be Godlike, peace must be based on Principle, for there can be no peace independent of God, divine Principle. Hence, that which is not based on Principle is not peace, even though it may be so designated. The word "Principle," employed by Mary Baker Eddy to define God, along with other terms she has used in her definition of Deity, conveys the idea of the Science of being, which includes spiritual, fundamental law.
