Concerning Christian Science Wartime and Postwar Activities

[From a Christian Scientist in England]

Six years of war, day and night, over London have made as many changes in the character and thinking of some of us as in the landscape. They have knocked great gaps in the mental structure of mortal mind, destroying forever some of the unsound trusts in personalities and things. But the true structure is becoming more apparent through the teachings of our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy.

I am being forced to see more than ever man's true individuality and all that constitutes his spiritual selfhood—the divine nature. I find I can no longer think "locally," or even "nationally." It must be "universally." Such thinking is bringing out "the wider sphere" to which our Leader refers on page 265 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," as follows: "This scientific sense of being, forsaking matter for Spirit, by no means suggests man's absorption into Deity and the loss of his identity, but confers upon man enlarged individuality, a wider sphere of thought and action, a more expansive love, a higher and more permanent peace."
