Destroying the Common Enemy

HAROLD LEE PATTERSON, SR.

How many times does it seem that men, like the children of Israel, find themselves pursued by enemies! Hearts yearn for peace, but on all sides appear only strife, greed, and hatred.

Though men and women, lacking an understanding of God, may think their prayers in vain, Christian Science, understood and practiced, brings deliverance from enmity, and from the consequent beliefs of war and oppression, with a certainty which is surely expressive of the love of Christ. This Science enables its faithful followers to destroy the sense of enmity through the understanding of God, proving "on earth peace, good will toward men," to be an actual, present fact. We learn in Christian Science to understand, not merely to believe, that God is Love, and that His allness does not permit the existence of anything which does not express Him.
