A stone cannot act because it does not think. But a human being is a thinker, and the nature of his thinking determines the nature of his activity. When a person's thoughts are right, his activities will be correspondingly right and successful. Mrs. Eddy tells us in explanation of what Christian Science says: "'When a man is right, his thoughts are right, active, and they are fruitful; he loses self in love, and cannot hear himself, unless he loses the chord. The right thinker and worker does his best, and does the thinking for the ages. No hand that feels not his help, no heart his comfort.'"Message to The Mother Church for 1900, p. 3;
One of the world's greatest thinkers was our Leader, Mrs. Eddy. When she first started the Cause of Christian Science, it was but a small ripple on the sea of mortal thought. With her hand in God's she thought and prayed and planned until her right thinking prospered her Church so that today it is known in many parts of the world.
Today the building of the Christian Science Church Center in Boston is one of the greatest steps of progress that has been taken since the completion of the Original Mother Church in 1894. Later came the building of the extension of The Mother Church, and afterward the new Publishing House. Each met the growing need of its day. But the Church Center is to meet the need not only of today but also of tomorrow, the need of a much bigger world numerically but of a smaller one geographically.
