A FEW words which a resident of the United States of America caught while dialing for a radio program were these: "This country must co-ordinate its natural resources." This statement brought a question to thought: What is the most valuable of this country's resources? The answer, unquestionably, is spirituality, regardless of what the radio speaker may have meant by natural resources. Likewise, spirituality is the answer to the question, What is the most valuable of the resources of all countries on the face of the earth?
The founding of the nation referred to by the radio speaker had its inception in desire for religious freedom. The true progress of any nation has been the outgrowth of some degree of spiritual discernment, spiritual courage, and spiritual unfoldment and revelation. Such basic progress must be more than merely national in scope.
It must be spiritual activity moving toward unity of concept, perception, and acceptance of the great spiritual facts of being, which are indeed infinite resources. Consecrated religious leaders of the whole world have been earnest in efforts to this end, and none has been more faithful, more deeply spiritual in desire and inspired in action than Mary Baker Eddy.
