Co-operation

ETHEL B. KELLER

In the present emergency, the necessity for co-operation in the effort to vanquish the enemies of freedom and spiritual progress is proving that it is possible for men of good will to work together. This lesson, which is being learned during the war effort, should be continued in the peace settlement and its administration.

Co-operation is one of the fundamental rules of civilization. It is as basic in the family as in civic or in world groups. Indeed, national and international problems are family problems on a larger scale. So it becomes evident that the first place to begin to demonstrate harmony and co-operation is in the home.

With this ideal in view, members of the family have many opportunities to prove the importance of co-operation in promoting success and progress. The many petty jealousies, quarrels, and misunderstandings that arise in a family group require wisdom, patience, and love to handle, yet the wise parent knows that unless these evil tendencies are healed, the breach will widen into a sense of separation. In the home where Christian Science is known and practiced, such problems are rightly solved as they arise, and the various members of the family are taught the great lesson of brotherly love.
