Of Christian Science. Tor this De-
ginning of the destruction OF death [
and the little understanding Of life
that has come to me, 1 am ever
grateful to our Leader. Mary Baker
Eddy is not the savior of mankind,
but she is leading us out Of the VII
6evness of confusion back TO that
Savior.
THE WORLDWIDE PROBLEM.
No religious teacher can consist
entity remain silent concerning the
universal social and business unrest /
prevailing throughout the world to-
day. During the last fifty years dis
tance and time have been destroyed
TO such an extent by inventions and
discoveries, that the peoples of the
earth are now one family for veal or
for woe. \ discordant nation in any
quarter of the globe becomes a pro
blem which all other nations must
help to heal. or suffer inevitable con-
sequences. The whole world at the
present time is in just this condition.
The great homicidal war in which the
peoples of the earth, recently have
| been engaged. has thrown into view
/ this Illuminating fact that the nations
/ of the earth can no longer dwell a
T part as separate entities. God is the
one Father and all His children are
included in His family. The loving
'ecognition of this fundamental fact
is the only solution for the world s
problem.
Some one people must be first in
setting an unsefish example rising
above the greed of territory and coin,
patiently and irrestibly drawing to its
own ideals the other nations of the
earth. Opportunity is waiting at the
door and we have good hope that the
Anglo Saxon nations, Notwithstanding
their internal difficulties will prove tc
, be the rallying point for a disunitec
/ world wide family This hope is the
more radiant because among this peo
pie the modern Star of Bethlehem

8 WHY HALT YE?
" The regnant thought of those wh
o are suffering is not, How can I lear
n more of God?' but, "where can
l. find a path out of this wilderness
'e trouble?" Jesus did not condemn sue
s. desires; he was compassionate; so a
i so is Christian Science; it begins
" relieving men and women of the
