MANKIND'S dire need for a comforter was perhaps never so universally acknowledged as now in this atomic age. "To comfort" means "to impart strength and hope to" or "to relieve of mental distress."
Today with many governments asking that every man's home be not only figuratively his castle but actually his fort, including as it may a fallout shelter, should not all men give devout consideration to a Comforter which asserts its invincible power to protect by corroborating man's God-given dominion over all the earth?
The need for total defense from evil's claims of destructive power can be met only by the Comforter that Christ Jesus prophesied would come in his name from the Father, God, when men were ready for it. The Master termed it "the Spirit of truth" and said "he will guide you into all truth" (John 16:13). This Comforter has come in our age. It has come in the Master's name and has the nature and purpose he described. It is Christian Science.
