L'Ordre

An article in a recent issue of L'Ordre presents Christian Science as a "religion of neutrality." An allegation such as this is entirely unjustified.

It is evident that neutrality as regards good and evil does not exist for a Christian. Christian Science is based upon the teachings of the one who declared he was come, not to send peace, but a sword, who considered that whosoever was not against him was on his part, who asked that our speech be, "Yea, yea; Nay, nay"—who drove out the money-changers from the temple, denounced the hypocrites, and consented to be crucified that he might prove the power of Truth.

Following the example of Mary Baker Eddy, the noble and courageous woman who discovered and founded Christian Science, Christian Scientists have no other politics than what she indicated as her own, namely, "to help support a righteous government; to love God supremely, and my neighbor as myself" (The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, p. 276). Christian Scientists support the reign of justice, of law, of individual freedom. Whoever reads the daily newspaper, The Christian Science Monitor, will realize this.
