every member of this Church to
pray each day: Thy kingdom
come;;' let the reign Of divine
Truth, Life, and Love be estab-
lished in me, and rule out of me
all sin; and may Thy Word en-
rich the affections of all mankind,
and govern theml"
Gods kingdom, of course, is
come. We experience this reign
of divine Truth, Life, and Love
as we accept Gods government
and live according to the teach
ings of Christian Science. Ger
tainly, Gods law governs His
universe, and this includes man.
There can be no human will ex-
pressed in Gods government,
since the law is the expression
of Gods will.
Discordant conditions are healed
as we recognize that there are not
finite minds governing the world,
but one Mind, God, governing
the universe of His own creating
and controlling huTlan affairs
through His unerrirg laws.
Much is being said by eminent
men and women today about how
to build a better world. Indeed,
these people are oedicating their
efforts to the realization of Sc
curity and peace for mankind.
1t is gratifying to find more and
more people in all walks of life
in government, business, indus
try, religion, research and edu-
cation-stressing the spiritual as
necessary to peace and security.
This better world is already COM
ing into being.
Our contribution to better
world is expressed by our right
eous thinking. 1t is. certainly
logical to state that this world
will be no better than the think
ing of the individuals who in
habit it. Fear, encouragement,
and Illustration are destructive to
achievement, individually and
collectively. If we are fearful
for the future of mankind be-
cause of the destructiveness of
the hydrogen bomb, we are not
strengthening the cause of peace
and security. AS we recognize
and accept Gods love and power
as one and all, fear is destroyed.
Our beloved Master, Christ
Jesus, based all spiritual progress
on love for God and man. Hear
his stirring words as given in
Matthew (22:37-40): "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind. This is
the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thySelf. On these two command
ments hang all the law and the
prophets"
When you love God, you love
good, and as you love good, you
will be good. AS you do good,
you will see good evidenced in
your business, in your home, in
your attitude toward your COM
munity, your country, and as far
as your mental horizon reaches.
AS you learn the meaning of
/. honesty and integrity, and live
them, you are building a better
world. Each one of us knows
that there can be no compromise
with popular practices no matter
how attractive and persuasive
the billboards, radio, television,
and some of the newspapers and
magazines appear to make them.
There is no safety, peace, or Sc
curity in wrongdoing.
When we are living and DEM
cnstrating the moral and spirit
ual power and~the courage that
are necessary to the exposing
and destruction of corruption
and vice in government, we are
helping to build better world.
The spiritual incentive starts
with the realization by the indi-
vidual that man is one with God,
and NAH can only be the express
sion of God. God is Love, and SO
man is expressing love, friendli-
ness, tenderness, patience, joy.
We experience these qualities as
we understand mans oneness
with the. Father and love Him
and His beloved children. Then
we are loving our neighbor as
ourselves.
AS you learn to mentally en-
brace your neighbor in your
thoughts or prayer, and that
means to be righteously con-
cerned in his happiness and we'll
being, you will find that the
brotherhood of man is taking
shape in the brotherhood of ma
tions. This spiritual conscious
ness brings security and peace to
all.
The reality, dignity, and great
ness of man as the son of God
come clearly to us individually
and collectively as we claim our
oneness with our Father Mother
God. Discerning the activity of
Christ, Truth, in the affairs of
men, individually and collec-
lively, you and become aware.
now, that mans sonship with
God has appeared through the
advent of Christian Science. The
great and glorious facts of spir-
itual creation accepted and DEM
onstrated will build better gov
ernments, better business, better
labor conditions, and better So
ciety on earth. Thus we hasten
the approach of world peace and
security.
Mrs. Eddy tells us (Science and
Health, p. 96): 'This material
world is even now becoming the
arena for conflicting forces. On
one side there will be discord and
dismay; on the other side there
will be Science and peace. The
breaking up of material beliefs
may seem to be famine and pes
thence, want and woe, sin, sick
ness, and death, which assume
