Dare to Stand for Truth!

[Written Especially for Young People]

JEANNE MARIE ROE PRICE

The history of civilization holds the records of many men and women who have dared to stand for the truth as they saw it, and in so doing have been instrumental in the establishment and development of freedom, justice, law, and order in human society. Standing thus for right and progress, they have successfully defied tyranny, dogmatic false theology, and the limitations of prevalent theories of physical science; voyaged across uncharted seas in frail ships; pushed forward the frontiers of civilization; and opened up new continents and new lands, where freedom of speech and worship could be established.

True courage, based upon spiritual understanding of the nature and character of God, is requisite to solve the problems that confront mankind. Mortal standards shift and change, from one extreme to another. False teachings, such as those of atheism and agnosticism, subtle suggestions sent out through the agency of press, radio, and moving pictures, of a confused and lax code of values and morals, challenge the attention of thinking people daily. Each one of us is given abundant opportunity for the practice of true courage in the work of rejecting and refuting such errors.

Christian Science teaches that moral courage is a spiritual quality, and therefore available at all times. It is not dependent upon physical conditions, and is not a special characteristic of the few.
