There are innumerable millions who have yet to hear of the most wonderful thing in the world today—Christian Science —and a consecrated effort on the part of Christian Scientists is necessary to bring to the world this truth which it so desperately needs. The conviction that this Science is the promised Comforter and not just another religion will give an incentive to our efforts to awaken mankind from their confusion, lethargy, and lack of purpose.
Mrs. Eddy makes this pregnant statement in "Pulpit and Press" (p. 22): "If the lives of Christian Scientists attest their fidelity to Truth, I predict that in the twentieth century every Christian church in our land, and a few in far-off lands, will approximate the understanding of Christian Science sufficiently to heal the sick in his name. Christ will give to Christianity his new name, and Christendom will be classified as Christian Scientists."
The world is poised for a great leap forward spiritually. The portents are not of chaos and destruction, but of the loosening grasp of materialism and evil, the awakening understanding of Mind's supremacy and infinitude, the increasing realization of the brotherhood of man and of Christian unity based on the theology of Christian Science.
