Meeting the Need of the Hour

BERTHA RIVERS-THOMPSON

In her poem "The New Century" our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, has written (Poems, p. 22):

"Tis writ on earth, on leaf and flower:
Love hath one race, one realm, one power.
Dear God! how great, how good Thou art
To heal humanity's sore heart;
To probe the wound, then pour the balm—
A life perfected, strong and calm.
The dark domain of pain and sin
Surrenders—Love doth enter in,
And peace is won, and lost is vice:
Right reigns, and blood was not its price."
