thing about 1t. Many people talk
about the condition of the world. Mrs.
Eddy really did something about 1t by
her discovery and practice OF Chris
tian Science. One result was the
eventual establishing OF The Christian
Science Monitor. which Is such a pot
ent factor in the solution OF world
problems. The liberty assured by the
Constitution OF the United States OF
America has made the publication OF
the Monitor possible.
Good thoughts antidote evil sugges-
lions. II the press and radio present
mental pictures of evil to humanity.
such suggestions need to be eradicated
for the benefit of the individual and
society. Those who watch carefully
to keep out these false suggestions
overcome the fear Of disease and the
belief in disease. and thus preserve
harmony. Obedience to Jesus COM
mand, Watch and pray" makes pos
sible an alert, wide-awake attitude
of mind. 1t never leads to fearful
forebodings or the prophesying OF
evil. The belief in evil is nullified
by the understanding Of the omnipo-
tence Of good.
A student Of Christian Science, as
he noted the h%appendings in the world
from day to day, became alarmed over
the prospect OF a religious war, that
was threatened by a nation In eastern
Europe some years ago. Surprised
to note the dread which this threat
seemed to rouse in his thought, he
spoke OF 1t to a friend, a faithful stu
dent Of Christian Science. This friend
instantly voiced the fact that all men
and nations are capable OF understand
ing divine Principle. Immediately the
realization OF this simple truth. spok
en- so proptly. pointedly, and suitably
dispelled this acute fear; and never
aagin was 1t experienced.
With the mental freedom this heal
ing brought, the student saw that this
fear had been implanted In his con
, seriousness by early education in world
history. He had been more or less
Unconscious OF 1t until this time. II
came to the surface to be dispelled b,
the clear realization Of the unchanginf
truth OF harmonious being. When Il
!. is realized that all men and nations
!. can understand and demonstrate di
vine Principle, we shall see peace es
tablished and the entire family Of ma
lions working together with mutua
understanding and helpfulness.
