Experience today is a constant challenge to obtain and maintain well-being. We hear much of the need of a bold and imaginative approach to human problems. Human theories and material reliances have been found wanting. Far from spelling perfection, they lead to sin, sickness, lack, and death.
The challenge of this hour to Christian Scientists is to meet the timid conservatism of human thinking, which seeks cause, power, and effect in matter, with a bold and imaginative demonstration of the fact that Hebrews gave an admonition we may well heed (4:16), "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Christian Science does not disparage health, happiness, harmony, and achievement. It stimulates thought to these accomplishments. It brings new promise of better health, purer lives, more beneficial activity, and defense against all forms of aggression.
