the country began to attract
more settlers and amongst them
was a very kindly man He did
not have very much 10 give in a
material way. but his heart was
full Of love for his fellow men. so
he secured a supply Of apple seeds
and wherever he went he planted
some Of these seeds. IN a few
years apple trees would be flour
ishing whose fruit furnished some
OF the needs Of these hardy pio-
neers. And so he who gains some
understanding Of the power Of d.
vine Love and boundless good can
utilize this beneficent power not
only to help himself but 10 plant
in the hearts and lives Of men
those seeds OF Truth. those ideas
of God. which heal and bless
everyone whom his life touches.
True Peace
Today the world is crying out
for peace. for comfort. for surcease
from its struggles and unrest. This
peace can come in only one way
and that is through an understand
ing Of God and His Christ as re-
vealed in Christian Science. What
is IL that seems to break the peace
Of the world but the belief in minds
many. the seeming clash of human
wills. the seeming strife of selfish
interests and mad ambition? In
Gods kingdom of infinite harmony
there is one Father. one universal
family of His loving children, one
will. "the might and wisdom Of
Cod (Science and Health. p 1917.
and there peace reigns supreme.
As this great fact permeates our
thinking, peace reigns in our own
hearts, and we can do our part in
bringing to troubled humanity uni
versal peace. To do our part faith
fully and well. we must have peace
within and then we shall be peace
bringrrs and not peace-breakers.
Discoverer and Founder
How grateful we are to Mary
Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and
Founder of Christian Science. who
brought to this age the revelation
of the all-power and ever-avail-
ability of divine good. Like the
beacon light which guides the
storm-tossed sailors to the desired
haven, Mrs. Eddy revealed to us
the light of Truth which shows us
clearly and demonstrably the way
out of earth's woes to the prom
ised land of health, holiness. purity,
joy, and life eternal. Before this
great truth came to our Leader her
earthly cup had been full of bitter
disappointment, suffering, sorrow,
and betrayal. At time when the
night seemed without a star and
the verdict of death had been laid
upon her, she turned to her Bible
for healing. Through the darkness
there shone the rays of Truth, re-
vealing the power of God, which
healed her and restored her to
life and health. She saw that God
was Just as accessible to men now
as He was in the time of Jesus.
After repeated proofs of this great
fact she gave her discovery to the
world Today countless thousands
bear grateful witness to the truth
and demonstrability of her teach
ings. She has provided many ways
and means by which this healing
can be brought into the
hearts and lives of men. Her life
was one of holy humility, unmeas-
ured love, unfailing kindness, and
faith in God. What
JOY it is to embody those same
qualities in our every thought and
deed and thus be worthy followers
Of our great Leader! The path
which she followed and which it
is our great privilege to walk in
Is most graciously pointed out in
her own words THE First Church
Of Christ, Scientist. and Miscellany,
p. 247): The little that have
accomplished has all been done
through love,-self-forgetful. pa
tent, unfaltering tenderness"
