Christian Science
is a powerful peace factor in the world today, for through its followers it lifts human thought above the struggle for material possessions and material defenses to the diviner urge for spiritual possessions and spiritual defenses.
Throughout
human history men have associated themselves in tribes, clans, and nations because of common interests and aims or for the purpose of mutual protection against potential enemies.
The
Christian Scientist never ceases to be grateful that Christian Science enables him to distinguish between spiritual truth and material belief, between the real and the unreal.
When
Paul wrote, "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage," he was appealing to the Galatians on the basis of faithfulness to their spiritual convictions.
God's
purpose is beneficent, irrepealable, and its glad recognition and appropriation rule out the belief in evil and bring health and harmony into human experience.
The
world should rejoice that the glad message of Christ Jesus, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly," is being repeated, explained, and made practical by Christian Science.
