RIGHT EDUCATION

RUIE PINNEY

Many people in all parts of the world today are ready and eager for a better understanding of God. This quickening of thought was evident in the convocation of noted scholars held in July, 1949, in Colorado to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of Goethe, great poet and philosopher, whose human life and writings represent a search for the light of Truth. The September, 1949, Journal of the National Education Association carries a summary of an address delivered before the Representative Assembly at the N. E. A. Convention held in Boston the same year.

This article says: "The world is in the midst of a great revolution which may be called the Christian revolution because its roots are in the teaching of Jesus Christ concerning the worth of the individual personality, the search for truth, and the power of love to lift and unite humanity."

The goal of spiritual reality can be attained whenever humanity is willing to become educated out of the errors of belief that life and intelligence are in and of matter. This is the purpose of right education through divine Science. Over a half century ago a New England woman, Mary Baker Eddy, revealed the answer to the profound question, "What is Truth?" in her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." Students of her teaching accept the revelation, or Christian Science, as providing the basis of true education. In her textbook she writes (p. 127), "If God, the All-in-all, be the creator of the spiritual universe, including man, then everything entitled to a classification as truth, or Science, must be comprised in a knowledge or understanding of God, for there can be nothing beyond illimitable divinity."
