The thinking of people everywhere must find a new base, must undergo a radical change, if destructive fear is to be abolished and peace abound. This is obvious from the trend of world events.

Christian Science provides the answers to these questions and many more.
Although fear is at the root of most human problems, the reasons which impel people to search for and find peace in Christian Science are many and varied. With some, it is slavery to sinful habits; with others, a growing dissatisfaction with sterile dogma and creed; and with still others, it is a deep, heartfelt yearning better to understand themselves and the times in which they live. Perhaps the largest number are attracted to Science because of its success in healing through spiritual means alone the minds and bodies of those who come to it for relief.
