out. The Science of his divine patriot
ism holds the solution for every hu-
man problem of our day as well.
Christian Science is today enlight-
ening many man upon the subject
of real loyalty TO his king and coun-
try. BY its teaching that real man is
the son of God, hence a citizen of the
kingdom of heaven, it is elevating hu-
man consciousness to the discernment
of a universal fatherland which is the
realm of infinite Love, a country which
has no enemy save the carnal mind,
whose defense is Truth, whose patriot
is man made in Gods image and like
ness. This country, a divine state of
consciousness, it is the native land of
all, its one and supreme ruler being
God. The true patriots decoration for
bravery in the service of this country
is not the cross, but the crown of re-
joicing which follows the blessing. In
asmuch as ye have done it unto one Of
{ the least of these my brethren, ye
have done ii unto me-" Surely loyalty
to such an ideal OF country practiced
in each individual experience will do
more to heal men and nations of race
prejudices, false ideals, lustful tenden-
cies, and mortal pride than earthly pa
/ triotism has ever done. The mission
and the method OF the Prince of Peace,
as well as the same signs following,
are reappearing in the ministry OF
/ Christian Science, which, as it goes
preaching the gospel and healing the
sick in all lands, is proving the com.
ing of the kingdom of God and the
power of His Christ.
1t is truly helpful to realize that
patriotism in its last analysis need not
be expressed by brute force displayed
against men, but rather must be re
flected by the love evidenced for them
And because God is Love, and to God
belongs all power, in exchanging the
destructive method for the construc
tive one in thought and in deed, mer
will begin to see the only eternally vic
torious power there is brought 10 beal
upon all human problems. AS hate
strife, fear, and sensuality yield to un
selfed love, peace, and spirituality il
