Breaking the Class Barrier

From the September 1970 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Barriers have been restricting mankind for centuries. There have been barriers of race, religion, nationality, education, and class, to name a few. Fetters of all kinds fall away through the study and understanding of Christian Science.

The Bible tells us that "God is no respecter of persons." Acts 10:34; But the human being influenced by financial success, material affluence, social and professional standing, very often is. Particularly in some of the older countries, quick mental classification of another is made automatically on sight or just by hearing the person speak. Either his appearance and speech are socially acceptable or they are not, and he is classified accordingly.

What cruel injustice! Right where the human being is judged and pigeonholed, there, in actuality, is the spiritual man of God's creating, perfectly acceptable to his Maker. But for this real man of God to be seen, spiritual sense must be learned and earned. We can do this by the steady, studious use and application of the Bible and the works of Mrs. Eddy.
