Editor

CHRIST'S PATH IS FOREVER SEPARATE FROM THE ROAD TO MATERIAL POWER AND GLORY.

"COMPETITION IN COMMERCE, deceit in councils, dishonor in nations, dishonesty in trusts, begin with 'Who shall be greatest?" wrote Mary Baker Eddy in her Message to The Mother Church for 1902 (p. 4). Today's world scene, especially in Afghanistan and Pakistan, reaffirms the timeless truth of these words.
