YOU CAN HELP; WILL YOU?

The world-wide churning ferment of human thought, the contentious strategy of ideologies, the self-interest of nations and of groups within nations, the endeavors of some to advance the common good, and the determination of others to delay the forces of human progress, all these evidence the inability of the human mind to find within itself the solutions for the problems it produces.

But the issue becomes clearer as time passes. Though multiplex in expression, it is simple in essence. It is reality versus unreality, divine intelligence versus carnal-mindedness, Mind versus matter, good versus evil. Of course no person, group, or nation can claim to be a paragon of righteousness. In the consciousness of all there is some light and some darkness, but the common enemy of each and all is the evil material mind. The all-wise, all-loving Mind, or Principle —that is, God—is the common friend of all.

The Master made the first petition of the Christian's prayer, "Thy kingdom come." The carnal mind, ignorant, selfish, and afraid, resists the appearing of Mind's kingdom, but that appearing will not be stayed. From east to west, from north to south, the veil of material-mindedness is being increasingly tattered with shafts of spiritual light, exposing the wrongs in the political, ecclesiastical, economic, and social realms of human thinking which must be corrected with ideas that proceed from Principle, divine Mind, God.
