RADIANT WOMANHOOD

From the February 1948 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In times of moral and economic crises, nations look to their womenfolk as the upholders of standards. Men going down into mines, fighting on battlefields, or catching the morning bus for the office often carry with them a mental picture of a loved woman who represents to them the qualities for which they are striving.

It is of timely significance that those entering the United States by way of New York Harbor see first the Statue of Liberty —a woman holding aloft a torch. It is also significant that the cover design of the Christian Science Sentinel shows a woman in Grecian robe, carrying a lamp, with this inscription from the poet Longfellow:

A Lady with a Lamp shall stand
In the great history of the land,
A noble type of good,
Heroic womanhood.
