Referring
to the world as "the arena for conflicting forces," Mary Baker Eddy states that "on one side there will be discord and dismay; on the other side there will be Science and peace".

Nowhere
is the spirit of truth and love more indispensable than in our branch churches, for as true brotherhood is demonstrated in the Christian Science organization the spirit of unity, the unity of Spirit, will awaken and unify the nations of the world.
How
deep is the yearning to understand oneself and one's fellows, and how earnestly parents desire to develop good qualities in their children! Yet how often has this legitimate yearning and desire been misdirected.
