World Progress

MABEL SPICER GILL

Some people are saying that were the world put in order today, with all personal, national, international, and racial differences justly and satisfactorily settled, it would not long so remain, because, as they claim, human nature, with its manifold shortcomings and idiosyncrasies, could not maintain a perfect state. They dolefully declare that it will ever be thus. Possibly this assumption would be correct if human nature were always to remain at its present level.

Christian Science, however, points the way to a higher humanity and correspondingly better world conditions. In the words of its Discoverer and Founder, Mary Baker Eddy (Unity of Good, p. 6): "Sooner or later the whole human race will learn that, in proportion as the spotless selfhood of God is understood, human nature will be renovated, and man will receive a higher selfhood, derived from God, and the redemption of mortals from sin, sickness, and death be established on everlasting foundations."
