Probably never before in history has there been such turmoil as there is today; yet paradoxically there must surely never have been more desire for peace, more concern for others, and more evidence of the brotherhood of mankind. We are going through a period in which the activity of Truth in human consciousness is awakening evil to resist its destroyer. Christian Science is revealing God's kingdom, wherein one recognizes his brother and himself as spiritual children of God, governed, sustained, and empowered by Him; hence today's discord, since the base elements of mortal mind are being brought to the surface and materialism is being overturned.
Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (pp. 96, 97): "During this final conflict, wicked minds will endeavor to find means by which to accomplish more evil; but those who discern Christian Science will hold crime in check. They will aid in the ejection of error. They will maintain law and order, and cheerfully await the certainty of ultimate perfection."
It is the privilege of Christian Scientists to help heal mankind of division and destruction, which counterfeit the unity and constructive peace of God's realm. The remedy does not lie in the selfish confusion of mortal mind. Though the problems may seem overwhelming, it is well for us to realize that they are really opportunities to prove the omnipotence and omnipresence of God, good.
