When I was a young girl, a beloved Christian Science practitioner used to say to me, "Make your prayers universal, and everyone who has his cup out will receive a blessing." The conviction that this is true, that every loving thought flows out with tangible benefit to receptive hearts everywhere, has stayed with me.
Mrs. Eddy assures us in Science and Health, "Universal Love is the divine way in Christian Science" (p. 266). The impelling motive of Mrs. Eddy's life was that she might give to the whole world the Word of Truth, which God had revealed to her as His anointed messenger to this age.
Mrs. Eddy never ceased laboring for the fulfillment of the Bible promise (Luke 3: 6), "All flesh shall see the salvation of God." The powerful evidence of her boundless love is the Church of Christ, Scientist, whose activities are encompassing the earth with enlightenment, regeneration, and healing. This Church accomplishes its mission of universal salvation through the unselfed zeal of its members. The world is crying out for freedom from discord, hate, and fear, and only the magnitude of Christly loving can bring it peace.
