THE NATURE OF PEACE

ROSALIND R. THOMAS

There is just one satisfactory basis for peace, and that is the spiritual. Real peace is not a chimerical dream or a vague hope for the future, but a present scientific fact. Mary Baker Eddy, the beloved revelator of Christian Science to mankind, identifies peace with the very presence of God. She opens one of her poems (Poems, p. 4):

"O gentle presence, peace and joy and
power;
O life divine, that owns each waiting
hour,
Thou Love that guards the nestling's
faltering flight!
Keep Thou my child on upward wing
tonight."
