The world cries out for peace. Religious thinkers, international organizations, and enlightened governments all talk constantly of it and make sincere moves to help achieve it. When it is realized how much the world needs men and women who live together peacefully, who are fair-minded, helpful, and loving, doesn't it seem important to develop these qualities by vigorous education for peace? The qualities which make such living possible are indeed moral and spiritual. Therefore they can be imaged in our motives and actions only as we gain a better understanding of God and our relation to Him. Christian Science promotes this understanding. Mrs. Eddy writes, "With one Father, even God, the whole family of man would be brethren; and with one Mind and that God, or good, the brotherhood of man would consist of Love and Truth, and have unity of Principle and spiritual power which constitute divine Science."Science and Health, pp. 469, 470;
In human experience education as an orderly training of our human aims and responses is invaluable. This is education in the broad sense—in the home, at school and college, and in the continuous self-education that is a matter of moments and the purposeful self-discipline of years.
Education leads outward and upward. It can lift mankind out of mental darkness that spawns inflexibility and superstition into the realization that there is still much to learn and that such learning can be enriching. Education can serve the cause of peace on earth.
