YOUTH MOVEMENT

From the May 1935 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The young man or young woman who is grounded in an understanding of Christian Science has within his or her grasp the accomplishment of great good. The most satisfying of human activities in which we can engage is work in the Christian Science movement. It is to us the center of great attraction; and we are drawing mankind to it according to the healings we demonstrate, the exemplary lives we live, and the good we express to others.

Following the example that Mary Baker Eddy established, we are also simultaneously conscious of our obligations to the world and the satisfaction that accompanies our every intelligent contribution to the solution of the problems of men. Intelligence is not determined by age. Our intelligent contribution to world affairs or to our movement is determined by our understanding of Principle.

In our world history, periods involving critical problems have sometimes been accompanied by what is called youth movements. Young persons, instilled with idealism, have joined together to bring about certain accomplishments. The past few years have witnessed the formation of a number of such organizations. Some of them have been inspired by unselfish desires to bless mankind. As their members express faith in the purposes of good, so will they succeed. In every desire to bless there is a glimpse of the ideal, and it is not limited to the age of anyone.
