Unity Divine Might
Commenting on the turbulent
international situation, the in
coming President said that
Christian Science reveals the
power of individual man to meet
and overcome the hordes of
meSmeric suggestions and subtle
influences claiming to induce dis
enlargement and apathy. 1t en-
ables the Christian Scientist to
overcome the belief that war can
be of permanent advantage, or
that it is to be feared. 1t destroys
the desire for an unrighteous, un-
just, and enslaving peace: and ii
sets right that wrong sense of
values which would prefer this
so-called peace to that active
warfare between the flash and
Spirit which The Mother Church
typifies, and which ultimates in
the victory of spirituality and
