An article appearing in the Christian Science Sentinel referred to the wonderful treasures to be found in seeking, sentence by sentence, for the spiritual meaning in the Sermon on the Mount. In carrying out this method of study over a period of months a student of Christian Science found many deep and satisfying spiritual truths that had remained hidden to her more casual reading.
One of the Beatitudes that particularly arrested thought was, "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God" (Matt. 5:9). The question arose as to the meaning of "peace" in "peacemakers." The student saw that this peace could not mean excusing and covering error or placating mortal mind. Mary Baker Eddy says (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 209), "Peace has no foothold on the false basis that evil should be concealed and that life and happiness should still attend it."
Throughout the history of mortal existence disturbance or lack of peace has often been expressed in wars on varying scales.
