"Love hath one race"

KIMMIS HARTLEY HENDRICK

Perhaps more than previously in world experience the subject of race looms prominently in public thought. Although some may feel that racial problems lie wholly outside their own sphere of interest, it seems evident that the wise thinker, always abreast of the times, will not fail to give attention to a question so consequential to millions the world over. He will see the importance of challenging all merely mortal classifications tending toward the segregation and division of mankind. If he is a Christian Scientist, he will be confident that the way of escape from all fetters of circumstance for the individual lies not in ignoring their claims but in learning no longer to identity himself with the limitations of birth, but rather with God, man's real Father-Mother. Doing this is an aspect of that love which reflects divine Love, as Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, indicates in a beautiful couplet from her poem entitled "The New Century" (Poems, p. 22):

"'Tis writ on earth, on leaf and flower:
Love hath one race, one realm, one power."
