Spiritual Enlistment

VICTOR P. MINIER

Christian Scientists are very grateful that they are free to gather in their churches to listen to the Word of God, as revealed through the pages of the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Had the forces of tyranny and despotism prevailed in the late world conflict, civil and religious liberty would have been wiped out, our churches would doubtless have been closed, and our books destroyed.

Our gratitude for religious freedom is best expressed in alertness to duty, and by a fuller demonstration of the Christ, Truth, which has been revealed to us through Christian Science.

Freedom of speech and freedom of worship have been preserved and extended by the victory of the United Nations, won through God's aid. But freedom from want and freedom from fear still await a spiritual conquest. Our Leader, Mrs. Eddy, writes in Science and Health (p. 225), "The despotic tendencies, inherent in mortal mind and always germinating in new forms of tyranny, must be rooted out through the action of the divine Mind."
