The request from Mrs. Eddy which follows was published in the Christian Science Sentinel of July 1. It referred to her solicitation of the prayers of the members of her Church "for the amicable settlement of the war between Russia and Japan" and for the peace and prosperity of these nations.
"Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord.
"I now request that the members of my Church cease special prayer for the peace of nations, and cease in full faith that God does not hear our prayers only because of oft speaking, but that He will bless all the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay His hand 'nor say unto Him, What doest Thou? Out of His allness He must bless all with His own Truth and Love.
