The world looks to youth for new contributions to the development of human culture in the sciences and in the arts. Mental doors are expected to open upon fresh vistas of life, talents are expected to appear in greater measure, liberated intelligence is expected to lead mankind into hitherto indistinct or unknown paths of knowledge. In the advancement of humanity, each generation should break away from blinding traditions held by its forebears and work to liberate mankind from bondage to the carnal mind, wherein is all limitation.
If this advancement has not taken place, and in many generations it has not, this is because youth has not been taught that God is the divine Principle of being and that He is the source of perpetual moral and spiritual progress. Christian Science provides this teaching, and when youth grasps and demonstrates it, youth's contribution to the race is certain to be great.
Mary Baker Eddy says in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 260): "The conceptions of mortal, erring thought must give way to the ideal of all that is perfect and eternal. Through many generations human beliefs will be attaining diviner conceptions, and the immortal and perfect model of God's creation will finally be seen as the only true conception of being."
