"The history of our country, like all history, illustrates the might of Mind, and shows human power to be proportionate to its embodiment of right thinking," writes Mrs. Eddy in Science and Health (p. 225). Later she adds, "Love is the liberator." Then, after mentioning that the abolition of slavery vindicated the rights of man in a single section, she declares on the next page, "That was only prophetic of further steps towards the banishment of a world-wide slavery, found on higher planes of existence and under more subtle and depraving forms."
Universal problems are merely individual problems multiplied. As we daily meet evidences of the tyranny of mortal mind in individual cases and overcome them, we are helping to meet the claims of evil on a universal basis as well.
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (I John 4:18). Fear corresponds to hate. One does not fear what he is superior to, and the divine Love we reflect does make us superior to what seems to deserve our hate as well as our fear.
