ATOMIC FORCE

IRVING S. BAILEY

It would be hard, indeed, to find an adult who has not heard of the atomic bomb and its destructive potentialities, or who would not rejoice in knowing how to render it powerless. With undeniable divine authority Christian Science provides the answer for this world-perplexing problem.

Viewed from a human standpoint, the problem of the atomic bomb calls for the control of both the product and its user. From a metaphysical standpoint one factor alone demands restraint, namely the carnal, or mortal, mind. This fact is readily appreciated when the definitions of matter and mortal mind, as found on pages 591 and 592 of the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, are studied, understood, and accepted. One who understands God as the only Mind sees how a suppositional mind with all its evil potentialities of sin, disease, corruption, and destruction can be controlled and overcome through the realization and demonstration of the scientific fact that Mind, God, is the only source, origin, condition, intelligence, cause, action, force, energy, power, and substance.

Because of her spiritual enlightenment and fidelity, citizens of the world owe profound gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, who some sixty years ago proclaimed in her God-inspired writings that "atomic action is Mind, not matter" (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 190). And she further averred, "It is neither the energy of matter, the result of organization, nor the outcome of life infused into matter." Consequently, this new weapon is just one more educated belief of mortal mind that energy and power can be expressed in or through matter. Moreover, it coincides with the belief or lie that mortal man is evolved by atomic force. Reiterating the teachings of Christ Jesus, the master Metaphysician and Scientist, Christian Science demonstrates that Mind is the only creator and self-existent power.
