"GOD IS LOVE"

1 John, 4:8, 16.

From the August 1898 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Sweet words! Short though they be yet a child may learn to lisp them and feel their influence, but the human mind can never grasp their full significance until it sees the nothingness of itself, and conceives of God allness

No human being, however, is so gross that he will not recognize, to some extent, the kind deed, the loving thought, the helping hand, and patient forbearance, which are all manifestations of the one and only God.

Was it not really our false concept of God man, and the universe which held, as it were, our hands with chains from reaching out to help some weary one and feed the hungry and heal the sick? But a blessed Light has dawned in this age, through our Leader, and when man truly desires this God, which is Love, it is attainable here and now—"A God that knoweth no evil, and sendeth no evil upon man."
